Why should it not? I agree with John, that if it's set here, it should be 
global.

LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

Now why is this? KDE Control Center has Country or Region pointing to India 
with all the previews at the bottom in the appropriate Indian format.

My point was, when I set OOo to "default" locale and I specify the active 
locale to be India, then why does not OOo behave as such? I will check this 
in Windows, and if same problem there too (or even if not) I will report it 
as an OOo issue.
