This RFD is being issued in concordance with the guidelines set in
the "How to create a new usenet newsgroup" FAQ regularly posted to
news.announce.newgroups. Please refer to this article if you have any
questions about the newsgroup creation.
*This is not a call for votes. Please do not vote now.*
CHARTER
soc.culture.indian.delhi is an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of
the culture and history of the beautiful capital of the Republic of India,
Delhi.
This group will include areas of Old Delhi, New Delhi and the surrounding
industrial areas.
Posting of advertisements by private individuals are not permitted.
Product annoucements will be allowed provided they are related to topics
discussed in the newsgroup and included in followup articles.
RATIONALE
Delhi is one of the most modern states of India, and over the course
of centuries, has attracted people from all over the world, thereby
transforming it into a fascinating cosmopolitan region of a total population
equaling that of Australia.
This state, as all states of India, has a unique, rich and diverse culture
and language, therefore it can be classified as a "nation state."
Considering the large number of posts made in the indian
group 'soc.culture.indian,' it is hard to filter out useful posts related
specifically to Delhi. A separate group, would only enhance the quality
of discussions within the group, and would add to the quality groups
on the Usenet.
Being the capital of India, it is only natural that people from all over
the world would like to acquire accurate and useful information about
Delhi, and the soc.culture.indian.delhi newsgroup would go a long way in
meeting these needs.
PROCEDURE
