I agree fully with Dr Celsa Pinto. However, there is another side to the archives she speaks about. Archives are of the ruling elites and the powerful writing elites. Everyday archive of people's lives in caste living, occupation, conflictual relations with the higher and purer castes, religious leaders, family, employment and their 'archive' of art and culture - these are equally, if not more, important, and these give a balance to the 'archive' generally so-called. I have paid greater attention to that part of life and, in language research, its yield has been colossal. Thank you. William Robert
