Not only bengali people living in Chennai, all Bengali people in other parts of world will also benefit.

Chennai is not only for Tamil people and ILUGC is for all.

That will make ILUGC a truly rainbow list representing the whole of India. If we can pull off this successfully, that will be a remarkable achievement. I am able to view 1. English 2. हिन्दी 3. বাংলা 4. తెలుగు 5. मराठी 6. ગુજરાતી 7. ಕನ್ನಡ 8. മലയാളം 9. ਪੰਜਾਬੀ in my computer and will not choose filter out any of the mails based on language. > > "Infact, lets consider loads of other people who will start posting in every > dialect and language available in the country." > "So, everyone can either install ALL fonts and hmm or create 100's of filters > to move them to Trash." Why 100's of filters? How many languages you think will be used in the list? Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, Telugu, Kannada - 6 languages at the most? A few more? Why you exaggerate to 100's? > > "Finally, you know guys, which posts will be understood by all.

(As Rajagopal suggests in his next mail) > > We hope that there is no need for any request and we can start postingin > Bengali. > I sincerely hope that you are arguing for the right to post in Bengali not to deny the right to post in Tamil.
