From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   inode
  
      A data structure holding information about files in a {Unix}
      {file system}.   There is an inode for each file and a file
      is uniquely identified by the file system on which it
      resides and its inode number on that system.   Each inode
      contains the following information: the device where the inode
      resides, locking information, mode and type of file, the
      number of links to the file, the owner's user and group ids,
      the number of bytes in the file, access and modification
      times, the time the inode itself was last modified and the
      addresses of the file's blocks on disk.   A {Unix} directory is
      an association between file leafnames and inode numbers.   A
      file's inode number can be found using the "-i" switch to ls.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   India
      occurs only in Esther 1:1 and 8:9, where the extent of the
      dominion of the Persian king is described. The country so
      designated here is not the peninsula of Hindustan, but the
      country surrounding the Indus, the Punjab. The people and the
      products of India were well known to the Jews, who seem to have
      carried on an active trade with that country (Ezek. 27:15, 24).

   Economy
  
   Overview: India's economy is a mixture of traditional village farming,
   modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries,
   and a multitude of support services. Faster economic growth in the
   1980s permitted a significant increase in real per capita private
   consumption. A large share of the population, perhaps as much as 40%,
   remains too poor to afford an adequate diet. Financial strains in 1990
   and 1991 prompted government austerity measures that slowed industrial
   growth but permitted India to meet its international payment
   obligations without rescheduling its debt. Production, trade, and
   investment reforms since 1991 have provided new opportunities for
   Indian businessmen and an estimated 100 million to 200 million middle
   class consumers. New Delhi has always paid its foreign debts on
   schedule and has stimulated exports, attracted foreign investment, and
   revived confidence in India's economic prospects. Foreign exchange
   reserves, precariously low three years ago, now total more than $19
   billion. Positive factors for the remainder of the 1990s are India's
   strong entrepreneurial class and the central government's recognition
   of the continuing need for market-oriented approaches to economic
   development, for example in upgrading the wholly inadequate
   communications facilities. Negative factors include the desperate
   poverty of hundreds of millions of Indians and the impact of the huge
   and expanding population on an already overloaded environment.
