To be very frank, I also quite disliked it. But, then, a lot of FLOSS
workers together did it for us: and tried to rationalize it in some way
or other. I don't know exactly what is the constitutional status of
Hindi as a language in India, but, obviously, if I am an individual
Indian, Hindi does not exactly represent me, so for the Hindi setting to
come after selecting India as a whole came as a bit of colonial-sounding
to me. Anyway, these dedicated workers, who are making this whole thing
available for us, did not think that way. And so: learning to live in a
world that I did not make.
