Truely, it's actions of people like yourselves that make India truely proud and self sufficient in area of Operating Systems for the masses. Three Cheers for you guys!!! @ Bro Karan: You the one that lives in England and blindly criticizes everything in India... right ? Instead of cursing the darkness, why not light a lamp-- why dont you take the initiative and help the guys at BOSS who may not be as knowledgeable as yourself ? Definitely, you will have to shift from this leadership oriented talk to a service oriented mindset and work in subordination to the people who have been given the authority by the govt to make a Indian Linux... but if you believe in a cause, then why not ??? Buddy, you need to dump this colonial mindset-- that if it's not perfectly done, then find a law to ban the natives from doing this-- instead you must accept and recognize that this is a Bharat-specific OS, which is a great achievement... it's not a omelette in a english restaurant that if it's not perfectly done then the crown prince screams and asks the waiter to take it back... If you criticize BOSS Linux like this-- and some officer-type who's against the project is reading... then the project will die. To actually participate in a effort like BOSS, you will have to be a subordinate to those already there and accept their authority... you would also have to give up your cushy UK based existence, and also climb down from your ivory tower philosophizing... are you up to this challenge Karan ? Or is this below you ? Just wondering...
