That's how the Sherlock Holmes Society of India was formed, back in 2001.
We are a relatively new society when compared to the ones in the UK or the USA or Japan - but we love him no less!
The SHSI - as we fondly call the Sherlock Holmes Society of India - does have some achievements under its proverbial belt. We have had our own website and e-magazine for several years now. Our website crashed recently, and while we do have a team of experts looking into the matter and trying to figure out if it can be saved and reloaded, I thought it might be a good time to update and upgrade.
Hence this new website, which will (hopefully) be more streamlined and easier to navigate. Do forgive me for any bumps along the road - I'm not a technical person, nor particularly tech-savvy. I'm told that's not necessarily a handicap, though. It might end up making the new site easier for our readers.
For starters, there is a tab near the top which will take you directly to all previous issues of our e-magazine - "Proceedings of the Pondicherry Lodge". It is one thing I am super-proud of. I will keep updating this twice a year when the new issues are released.
All the content of the earlier website can be found under the head "Old is Gold" - it is a work in progress - please bear with me as I retrieve old posts and rehabilitate them. If we are able to get the earlier website to work, I'll add a link here.
There is also a couple of new pages - "Our History" and "Become a Member". These will tell you about SHSI and how to become a member. Anyone can be a member - all we ask for is an affinity to Sherlock Holmes in any of his avatars.
