The earlier title to this report was, 'Indian appointed to Bush office '. The website, Rediff.com, has changed it to what appears on the top of this post now.

I hear that he trimmed some significant fat from the Peace Corps, causing whining from the usual suspects.
Therefore, he's probably a very good guy.

Gopal Khanna
Chief Information Officer
Peace Corps
Gopal Khanna was so successful as chief information officer of the Peace Corps that his bosses gave him another challenge: chief financial officer.
During his tenure as CIO, Khanna transformed the organization by creating an enterprise architecture and melding information technology plans with investment management processes. Developed in partnership with non-IT staff, the architecture encouraged program officers to collaborate on technology projects and become involved in e-government initiatives.
"He is about as good a change agent as I have ever come across," said Claude Christensen, the Peace Corps' chief architect. "He just took the place by storm in terms of setting the IT direction strategically."
Hot off his stint as CIO, he was named CFO with the goal of achieving a similar transformation of the Peace Corps' ailing financial management system.

A tourist from Mumbai, India was traveling through Arizona when he decided to stop at a local tourist trap and get some grub and gas. While there, an American Indian stopped on his way to a native celebration, dressed in full tribal regalia. The tourist immediately started snapping his camera until the American got a little agitated.
"What are you doing?" the native asked, a little peeved. The American began snapping his camera at the tourisat in the same manner and replied, "Neither have I!"........

I don't know what happened to the rest of the joke. It disappeared into cyberspace......here it is again...
"What are you doing?" the native asked, a little peeved.
"I've never seen a real Indian before!" said the Mumbai native with an obvious accent.
The American began snapping his camera at the tourisat in the same manner and replied, "Neither have I!"........

Exactly right. The word "Indian" comes from the river Indus, that runs in now what is Pakistan (though it originates in India). Far better to call Indians Indians, though Indians themselves increasingly refer to their country as Bharat and not India.

I've noticed that recently the names of some of the Major cities have reverted to their original pre-colonial names. Bombay is now Mumbai, etc.....
