I will be brief. Take a look at the Alexa statistics on the left side of this blog. Look very carefully, now. Look at the site information for the five local blogs cited. Now, I ask you, how do Barbadian blogs get to be so popular in India? I wonder if the Indians are really reading what is on the pages, or if these are robots searching and finding whatever it is that robots are looking for and like to eat. If India is so popular, why not China? We know that in the world of cyberspace and Internet use, India's one billion people must soon be a factor to deal with (see
article), but I am not convinced that its interest in things Bajan is kosher--sorry for the religious cross over. Is this nothing more than the blogs concerned being pulled along by a train that has nothing to do with things Bajan but has much to do with things popular?

Khadija,
Perhaps you do not know of India's role in outsourcing, including for Internet activity. The reference to robots is to the fact that search engines located in India that just scour the net may be the reason why "India" is so prominent as a source of hits on a website. It has nothing to do with Indians at all, or in fact with any real human activity, and may reflect a lot of 'spam' connections. That's the point being made. So, one needs to read the statistics as having an element that is largely air.
