It isn't. So besides signing petitions and so forth, what is being done to attempt preservation of the service in India and elsewhere? According to the man who wrote last week, fifty-six of the petition signers are from India. Are they all on this list? Have any been contacted personally about any plans? Are there any plans? Dipendra, could you weigh in on this please?
