Re: Fwd: Re: Modern Equivalent Timezone

In this review, we are only canvassing for certain information regarding 
timezones in countries that have multiple timezones. India is one of the 
lucky countries with only one.

In this review, the offsets are not relevant; those are only given for 
information -- they come from the TZ database (aka Olson database). Our 
concern is the relative importance of the zones for translation.
