  Now that there is a separate net group for Indian activities, it will
be a nice idea to post the major Indian events for the year in the
form of a calendar. The objective behind the calendar is to remind the
net viewers about the festivals so that they send the greetings cards
well ahead of the end of the festivals. I am listing in a few events;
can someone insert the dates and add some events, if possible.

                  MAJOR INDIAN EVENTS OF 1985
