GIKIANs at KTH

Not sure about whole Sweden but there are currently 15 gikians in KTH, Stockholm right now:). 6/7 of last year and 9 of this year. We have 1.5 years MS program as of 2005-2005.. 4 guys from batch 7, 2 guys from batch 8, 3 guys from batch 9, 5 from batch 10 (incl 1 girl) and 1 from batch 11. Of 15, 10 are from FCSE, 2 each from ME and EE and the girl is either from MM or ES.

March of the Titans A History of the White Race

Interesting book and is available online.. One interesting remark is on Harrapa and Mohenjo-Darro where this book claims that the people there were from Mediterranean race (the original European race which was invaded by Aryan invaders). The remark is opposite to what I have generally read that these civilizations had Dravidian inhabitants. It will be interesting to see if Dravidian has any link with Mediterraneann.

Yahoo! Groups : Pakistan_Sweden_Volunteers

Hi..

finally we have made a group to coordinate relief efforts in Sweden (Stockholm in particular).

Our first goal is to organize a seminar to create awareness about the immediate-future threats faced by affected people.

May Allah have mercy on them.

Join the group if you want to contribute.

And we need a flash expert who can help us in developing the presentation.

regards,

Asim
