Subject: Re: FW: Change of timezone City for India
hi, I would like to bring it to your attention that the usage Asia/ Calcutta has a long history. India has four major metropolitan cities - originally Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi and Madras and now known as Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Chennai. Each has historically been the seat of some important national institutions/traditions. Calcutta/ Kolkata has historically been the 'time' city of India. Everyone is quite comfortable with this. If you *do* want to make a change, please consult all sections of the community before you do so. India is also a country with sensitive regional feelings, so please take these things into consideration before making any change. If necessary you could poll the various LUGs and FSUGs and other interest groups before making a change. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon@au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/
