Not only bengali people living in Chennai, all Bengali people in other
parts of world will also benefit. When a Bengali student wants to
learn something technical he can reach your contents (through google
search) and benefit.

Chennai is not only for Tamil people and ILUGC is for all. Your
thinking is not wrong.

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.

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?

Who knows, we can develop a language engine to translate content from
one Indian language to another.  (As Rajagopal suggests in his next
mail)

I sincerely hope that you are arguing for the right to post in Bengali
not to deny the right to post in Tamil.
