Doing my part for the desi blogosphere -- the 30th Bharatheeya Blog Mela will be hosted here on Friday, September 26th.

Instructions for submitting to the Blog Mela (adapted from instructions posted by Godless Capitalist):

Email vinod@vinod.com OR make it a comment to this post
Please send your nominations to me latest by Thursday, September 25, 11:59pm PST.

Da' Rules

1. Posts must either be made by Indians or focus on India or Indians.
2. Send in permalinks to the individual blog entries only, not just the URL. If the permalink is not working, send me the title and date of the blog entry.
3. You can nominate your own posts or someone else’s;  although if you're nominating your own post, I may subject it to a higher editorial standard   ;-)
4. You can submit any type of posts although I'd particularly like to focus on articles about "Society, Culture, & Economics:  India & its Diaspora".   I'm an ABCD who's fascinated about the relationship between FOBs, NRIs, Natives, Desi's, ABCD's and everything in between.
5. For more on the Blog Mela, here’s gyan from a founder’s blog. Also check what varnam wrote a long time ago. The earlier melas are archived here.

Looking forward to your material!
