Vikas the Ombudsman

Meet Vikas the Ombudsman (A Profile of my InBox) The emails I get via Kamat's Potpourri vary from raves to accusing to amusing. They mostly fall in these categories: Requests for reproduction of content, complaints of missing content ("How come you don't have this?"),  Requests for help (inter-caste and inter-religious relationships seem to be my specialty, I also get a lot of questions about India), and Reviews (rants and raves). I regret that I can't help all of them, although I try. Some samples from this week : I made up the quotes to simplify long messages A number of people ask me about importing elephant tusks or ivory crafts, but today I got a email from a patron who wants to import an elephant from India. Any idea how he can go about? A lot of people get upset that I have not listed one deity or another in my list of Hindu Gods. My explanation that "Who can list God's names or forms?" is falling on deaf years. Many people get upset that I have classified Saibaba and Sahajanandji as holy-men. They want me to refer to them as gods or reincarnations of God. "I am a Chinese girl in love with a Malayali. His family hates me. Please help" "I was a president of this Indian association in Texas. We abused your contents and pissed you off in the past. But now I got this really cool TV gig to do on India. Can I use your contents now with your permission?"
