*Becoming*? I thought they've been that for a long time! One of the fascinating books which I got a chance to review is about an eighteenth century "shampooing surgeon" (what does that mean? check it out...) from Patna, who settled in Ireland and England. Read more about Dean Mahomet at http://www.complete-review.com/reviews/india/fisherm2.htm#summaries and this gives a hint of the changing equations between West and East. Nothing new in what we're noticing now.... FN
