Ribbon running out for India's typing tradition
The end is coming, though admittedly it may not look that way at 10 am on a Tuesday morning, when dozens of young Indians have arrived for morning classes at Anand Type, Shorthand and Keypunch College, and every battered Remington is clattering away.
Looking around the cramped classrooms, you might think that the typewriter still has a future in India. But in one of the last places in the world where it remains a part of everyday life, twilight is at hand.
Even Sunil Chawla will tell you that, and he's kept Chawla Typewriter going long after the profits disappeared.
