Even if sending cash in the mail is not illegal, it almost guarantees that
your letter will be stolen.  One U.S.$ (about 45 rupees at today's exchange
rate) is more than a day's wage for many Indians.

I've had mixed success sending and receiving mail from India.  Some letters
took only 10 days to arrive.  Don't forget the PIN code (the 6-digit Indian
zip code).  The state doesn't seem to be necessary, i.e. you can write
"Calcutta, 700001", rather than Calcutta, West Bengal, 700001".
