After some extensive reformatting I've tagged the article for cleanup and NPOV. For the cleanup, it still requires some rewording for grammar, some Wikification, and some reformatting of the text near the end.

For the NPOV, it seems to be written from a predominately British perspective, thus referring to Indians as "natives", and so forth that should probably be cleaned up. Sylve 07:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about the reformatting. I didn't have the time to rewrite the article, and I guess I was being kind of lazy by putting it up. Promise to rewrite it and wikify soon... if someone doesn't beat me to it;) --Jax 18:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
