DEHRADUN: For teachers in Uttaranchal, it is virtually back to basics-ABC when it comes to learning the English language. And they don't mind learning the language in a classroom at Dehra Dun especially when teachers are from Ireland. "We are learning how to improve our English especially at the basic level," said Pushpa Bisht, a primary school teacher at Khasonsi, a remote village in Jaunsar tribal area in the hill state. Bisht admits she did not know much English though she teaches the language to village children. Like Bisht, there are hundreds of teachers who are still not very good in English, officials said.

"We know of at least 150 asanas (yoga positions) that have been pirated in the U.S., the UK, Germany and Japan," said Vinod Gupta, the head of a new Indian government task force on traditional knowledge and intellectual-property theft.

(Filed: 20/09/2005) It is meant to engender feelings of peace and well-being but yoga has become a battleground as India tries to stop its ancient heritage being exploited by the West. The Indian government is furious that yoga practices dating back thousands of years are being "stolen" by gurus and fitness instructors in Europe and the United States. Foreign practitioners are already said to have claimed hundreds of patents and copyrights on poses and techniques lifted straight from classical Indian yoga treatises. "Yoga piracy is becoming very common and we are moving to do something about it," says Vinod Gupta, the head of a recently established Indian government taskforce on traditional knowledge and intellectual property theft. "We know of at least 150 asanas [yoga positions] that have been pirated in the US, the UK, Germany and Japan. These were developed in India long ago and no one can claim them as their own."
