Time zones cuks. ;-)

$ unset TZ
$ export TZ
$ date
Tue Jan  5 14:00:40 EST 2010
$ TZ=IST
$ date
Tue Jan  5 19:00:46 UTC 2010

Huh?  UTC?!

$ TZ=PST
$ date
Tue Jan  5 19:00:51 UTC 2010

Weird (only it's not...)

$ TZ=PST8PDT
$ date
Tue Jan  5 11:00:58 PST 2010

And to get IST, you need this:

$ TZ="Asia/Kolkata"
$ date
Wed Jan  6 00:31:04 IST 2010
