- Call for discussion on forming NewsGroup
- ----------------------------------------
- -SOC.HISTORY.SOUTHASIA
- ---------------------
- I do not know the exact procedure to do this and would like
- a few enlightened souls to inform/advise me on the subject of
- forming a new newsgroup.
- Anyway, I would be very much interested in pushing for
- a group dedicated to the discussion of S ASIAN history(which is
- roughly the region encompassing India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Sri-Lanka,
- Bhutan, Nepal, Afghanistan and the Maldives). It would be nice if
- the group could be moderated(dont know the procedure for that either).
- We would be discussing different historical periods and perspectives
- in south asian history. While history itself is a political subject,
- it would be nice if uninformed politically motivated half truths as
- we see in the "CULTURE" groups can be excluded by moderation. This
- is such that the group be dedicated to the discussion of history
- alone. If the group has a goal or objective, it is to enlighten
- ourselves with a better understanding od S ASIAN HISTORY thro mutual
- help.
