Muslim, not islamic:)
Although I'm not familiar with specificities (if any?) of muslim  
practices in India - as there may be some differences in importance  
given to some celebrations rather than others - I've just checked  
that the main celebrations is expected (this follows the moon  
calendar as you know) around Dec. 8 in 2008. Indeed a big problem.
In North Africa, this celebration lasts 3 days.
On the other hand, this celebration commemorates Abraham's sacrifice,  
so.. IGF in this period could be somehow relevant:)

I'm wondering how this could happen?! Wasn't the Indian gov consulted  
for the IGF date?
