Thanks for the vote of confidence, Raju -- I have posted the text on the 
india-gii wiki, so that you can help improve the arguments made in the 
article. 
http://www.india-gii.org/wiki/index.php/Position_Papers/Software_Patents

Count me in on any initiative to take this up with our government.If 
there is a nice writeup on what is specifically wrong with our software 
patent policy that needs correcting, I would love to put that up too.

I have not addressed this mail to the various lists you sent this to, 
Raju, because I am not subscribed to them. Please forward.

Arun
