Did y'all catch the "India Plans Citizenship Test" story yesterday in the Eastern Eye, about how foreigners wanting to settle in India will now have to learn Hindi, and know dates in Indian history? I was really fascinated, and it went on about NRIs and others needing to assimilate and understand Indian culture, and then ended with this:

"The report says taking the citizenship test will enable immigrants to learn about everyday life in India, including the latest Bollywood film stars, where to get the best masala dosas and how to chew paan effectively. A new white paper proposing specific test questions will be released today, April 1."
