Anil, please do NOT take my answer for authoritative since I have only
been using grass for a few weeks.  However, from what I've been able
to tell, the proper procedure for importing a raster without
georeferencing information is to create two locations: one lat/lon and
the other X-Y.  r.in.whatever the raster into the X-Y location, add it
to an i.group, set the i.target for the raster to be the lat-lon
location, i.rectify the raster into lat/lon, g.region
rast=YOUR-RASTER, and d.rast map=YOUR-RASTER .

At least, that's the theory.  I still haven't yet gotten a raster
rectified.
