as we would have loved to, there just hasn't been time to come up with
a full issue in time for Christmas. However, we thought you might enjoy
a bit of Indian-reading during the holidays, so please find links to a
couple of amazing articles below.
In case you weren't sure, there definitely will be more VI issues in the new year, but no promises as to when! There are 100's of things that need to be done, and we hope that more of you (Listers and readers) will become an active part of it. Join the VI mailing list and let's work together towards making 2003 the best VI year yet. Merry Christmas and a Great New Indian Year to all! The VI editorial team. |

Perhaps we could coordinate "package tours" through the VI? And perhaps this could become a fixture of future International Indian Rallies? In any case, here is the first edition of the 2003 Rally site. It will be updated regularly. See you in Denmark in July? |
