I hope some net.nlang.india readers will be watching the latest PBS "Masterpiece Theatre" series of a "docudrama" about the withdrawal of the British from India. There will be a lot of people who will view this sort of program as utterly factual and completely true, and will accept everything in it as being just how things were at that time. Maybe it will be, and maybe it won't be. I would appreciate seeing postings on net.nlang.india from people who lived through this time, or studied it extensively, and who will be able to offer alternate views of the events depicted, or corrections to mistakes, or even just confirmation when the program is entirely correct. So far, after seeing the first episode, it seems decent television in and of itself, so the time spent watching it would not be wasted in any case. Will
