In the fifth paragraph it is “Dikhsit” but reverts back to
“Dikshit” later. In college I recall a Dr Richard Head in
the Phys Ed dept, I believe.

“I thought the article was talking about Shelia JACKSON lee...”
Me too!
I thought someone was calling her a dip$hit, which she is.

“Dikshit”
The Dikshit family is considered rather nerdy and non intelligent in their native country.
When the family immigrated to the US; the immigration officer accidentally changed the the “k” to a “p”.

Something Sheila Dikshit uses to check you water level.

Could it be that the name is misspelled? I will refrain from writing what it perhaps should be.

FYI - Dikshit or Dikshitar (Hindi: दीक्षित) is a Hindu family name. The word is an adjective form of the Sanskrit word diksha, meaning religious initiations. Dikshit in Sanskrit derives itself as a person or priest involved in such initiations or a scholar in religious scriptures, and literally translates as "one who has received initiation or one who is initiated". The surname is usually associated with people from the Brahmin community among Hindus in India. People with this surname have their roots in the Indian states of Kashmir, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and some parts of Orissa and South India.

Australians use “Sheila” as a common generic name for a girl, like “bloke” for a guy.
The surname is, however uniquely Indian and not uncommon I am told.

Doesn’t matter one way or another. This thread is really just for Dikshits and giggles.
To: GeronL
If she is seriously challenged in any election, would the Indian newspaper headlines run like this?
“Dikshit in Deepshit”
Now, about that guy “Deepgrease Porkchop” who used to be on MSNBC or CNN. Shouldn’t he change his name to “Sam”?
To: GeronL
>>Is Sheila a common name in India?
No, but neither are native Christians, which she is.
To: llevrok
Are we all pretty much agreed that our first thought was, ‘Sheila Jackson Lee at a Broadway play ‘Hello Dehli’ and WTF?

Right up there with mixing Chris Cox and Norm Dicks on a committee. The press loved talking about Cox and Dicks.
