Rajesh, Kannan, Chandrakant, This is getting interesting :-)
May I suggest we work this in two "streams"? - check who is currently working on Indic langages localizations, what localization of constitutionally recognized language is currently missing and who may work on it - on this mailing list, discuss and define a few concrete actions to raise LibreOffice awareness in India and improve its distribution. What do you think? Best, Charles.
