[cr-india] Fwd: [india-gii] Kolkata businessman sets up FM station in Dubai

[Vickram Crishna]

Apparently Indians can be trusted to use radio not to spread things 
'fraught with danger' in other countries, even when the possibility 
to do so is forbidden in India... or is it that they just have more 
money than the average Indian villager?

Incidentally, there is a substantial expat Malayalee population in 
Mumbai - probably larger than in Dubai even, but no local radio 
station serving Malayalam.
