On a slightly unrelated note, you may want to work on data in legacy encodings.
Like the voter's database, which is bilingual (en > local language), with most probably, the local language in the dated ISCII encoding. (At least, that is the case in Kerala). It ought to be a slightly non-trivial task to convert all that into Unicode. Several agencies need to access that data. Most modern Linux distros do not support legacy encodings addequately, and hence it is difficult to access legacy encodings.
