Hi,

Right??? Can I assume that this is another form of Hindi Imposition over entire India? Hamara Linux is a new distribution tailored to the Indian market from > the perspective of language, design, usability and access. > Perspective of Language --- What are all the languages you promote? I donot see any other language than Hindi on your screens.. Do you mean that Hindi is the only language being used in India? When you do not show up any other language in your website, how can I assume that it is tailored for my language? We are promoting design that users feel accustomed to, a way to reach a > larger audience and also stem cultural hegemony. We target intel as well > as ARM, to make access to the platform easier/cheaper. And the cultural hegemony means use of Hindi everywhere instead of English.. Am I right? > Native language support - you will be able to find us using a search > engine without > knowing how to read English. > Can people who know only Tulu be able to usethe search engine? Or do they NEED to KNOW Hindi or other language? Indians have many native languages ....... Hindi is just one among them!! Please stop all means of Hindi Imposition. I welcome distirbutions that support our own native language not that one which assumes some alien language as my native one as well as recommends me to use that!! -- Regards, ARUN P *A Tailor’s mistake is a Fashion But, An Engineer’s mistake is a Disaster.* "Preserve the earth; Else we will perish" _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
