Another Five Indians with International titles

See "Five Indian players earn chess titles" by newstodaynet.

LIST:
1. Tania Sachdev (Del) - Woman Grand Master,
2. Kruttika Nadig (Kar) - Woman International Master,
3. Mary Ann Gomes (Ben) - Woman International Master,
4. Abhijeet Gupta (Raj) - International Master, and
5.Ramanathan Balasubramaniam (ICF) - International Master

Report also mentions that "India has 2039 Elo rated players, 12 qualified GMs, 8 WGMs, 44 IMs, 14 WIMs now", numbers I am not very proud of but they are promising. They way Chess is being adopted in India, I forsee much larger number than these.
