The AJACS team has a pretty good site for getting non-Indian users acquainted with an extremely diverse country and for keeping Indian users connected to the area where they from.
There are still bugs, or "features," that I remember seeing in the second iteration. After clicking a link to read an article and then hitting the back button you are brought back a blank map and headline bar. I might suggesting putting an on.click button associated to city selection list so that users can reselect the same city over again instead of clicking a different city, then reselecting the original one. This is just a band aid fix.
Good job overall,
Mike
