Can someone out there give a brief summary of the computer & electronics industry in India? I know that the Indian government operates what used to be an IBM subsidiary, but are there any other computer manufacturers there? Also, I have heard that the new PM wanted to construct a network of computer sites throughout India, to be used both by the government and local colleges. Does anyone know anything about this project? And lastly, are there national organizations in India analogous to the IEEE and ACM here that one could get in contact with to learn more about this industry there? Joe Pistritto

I, too, would like to see info on the Indian domestic electronics industry. If anyone posts or mails such info, please try to include what you can on the consumer electronics industry. I have long thought that India should be a good source for inexpensive shortwave radios, but I have heard that those that are produced there are of obsolete design or poorly made; this may be totally wrong (I hope so!), and I'd like to know facts on the subject.
