Room at the inns: India's confident hoteliers plan major expansions
Article Abstract:
India's major private hotel chains are planning expansions, despite the on and off political crises and natural disasters that have made tourism in that nation a speculative enterprise. The three largest hotel chains in the nation, Indian Hotels Co., East Indian Hotels and Welcomgroup, all reported strong year-end numbers for 1992. Expansion will be concentrated in India's smaller cities and countrysides in an effort to find unspoiled, non-urban tourist destinations. Southern India will also be a site for expansion because political stability in the region ensures less violence.

Murdering hope: hardline officials seen behind Kashmiri leader's death
Article Abstract:
The abduction and murder on Mar 31, 1993 of Abdul Ahad Guru, a leader of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), has been widely attributed to elements within the Indian government who favor cracking down on the rising against Indian rule in Kashmir. Guru's violent death in Srinagar, Kashmir may bring an end to the government's attempt to resolve the crisis peacefully. However, government officials blamed a Guru's death on the Hizbul Mujahideen, a radical Muslim Kashmiri group that opposes the JKLF's moderate policies.

The Cape Malays: called 'coloureds' under apartheid, now they are reviving their past
Article Abstract:
South Africans of Malay ancestry are descended from immigrants from the East Indies. They are called Cape Malays because they first settled in Capetown. One Cape Malay is Nurul Erfaan Rakiep, whose ancestors came from Tidore, one of the Moluccas islands in Indonesia. Cape Malays have lost much of their Malayan culture, except their Muslim religion. In the past, they faced racial discrimination but they are now doing socially and economically well in South Africa and they remain interested in their lost Malayan heritage.
