The hindu-names was cannibalized from a news article: From: B.Kumar@cs.ucl.ac.uk Newsgroups: soc.culture.indian Subject: FAQ: list of Hindu names.. Message-ID: <3273@ucl-cs.uucp> Date: 26 Nov 92 12:49:10 GMT I know nothing of Hindi (I do not even know whether all the names here are Hindi...) but I did it, anyway. I was even so bold as to add a few names I know I _think_ are Indian. The blame is mine, the kudos is B. Kumar's. ++jhi@ftp.funet.fi;
