IndiCS.InfO stands for India with Common Sense for the Informed Outsider. The site is about India, but run by a non-Indian and mainly intended for non-Indians. Indians and expats are of course welcome to visit, comment and agree or disagree. Our mission is to give you unbiased information about various aspects of this country, in a way that makes sense to an outsider while remaining mostly accurate - to help you become an Informed Outsider adept in Indics. Someone who can see the diversity, the strangeness and the intensity of India and feel wonderment and awe, but who needn't put on various-coloured glasses to see what is not there, and can actually understand and put in context at least some of what they see.

If this is your first visit here, you might want to read the help pages and the About page.

IndiCS.InfO will be expanded gradually, with more articles added to the existing columns, and a couple of new columns too. The growth of the site depends upon you, the user, too: if you register, you'll be able to post content yourself.
