From Erica de Graaff-Hunter Sir: Kate Chisholm's article 'The Spirit of India' (Arts, 10 February) was very refreshing. I was thrilled to find someone who had been as pleased as I was with the week the BBC World Service gave over almost entirely to India. I had almost given up on the World Service for anything other than news; their programmes had become so boring. There must be someone new in charge — please let them stay! Then I can stick with the radio and not defect to BBC World TV! Congratulations to the WS for a week of outstanding programmes.
