As you may know, Michael Smith has created a glossary of Indian words and expressions which is to be found on the web-site via 'Rudyard Kipling'/ 'The Kipling File'/ 'A GLOSSARY OF HINDUSTANI-URDU-HINDI words to be found in Kipling's works. We are considering whether to include it in the new Readers' Guide, and it would therefore be most helpful to have any comments, suggestions, criticisms, additions, queries etc. from members of the Mailbase. Please send any thoughts to Mike ([log in to unmask]) , copied to the Mailbase. All good wishes, John R
