Came across this...
I've been doing some Internet searching to learn more about Indian (as in the sub-Continent) culture, partly in response to trying to get a handle on the caste system and the other complexities of Indian life (see earlier posts regarding a recent National Geographic article), and partly because I'm working up a roleplaying character for a game where the natural background would be someone familiar with Kolkata (also known as Calcutta). One thing about these games, you wind up doing a lot of personal research. :)
Anyway, while I was doing my searching, I came across a delightful site: Kamat's Potpurri. I've also added a link to the son's blog on the right menu. Basically, this is the website for a family of scholars who have studies aspectes of Indian culture and history. It's photograph-rich, given the father's interest in photography. The son is the techie of the family, and has laboured to put up the content generated by his parents, particularly his now-late father. In addition, the son is living in the Southern United States, so he has an interesting blend of Indian-Southern experiences. Anyway, I thought I'd link to it, because it really is a pretty neat site (and includes such things as Indian catfish recipes). :)
