From the LINUX-INDIA-HELP list... I would say, it is a very good idea and it has the potential of taking Linux to masses. There are a few other initiatives like indlinuux etc. going on and it may be a good idea to collaborate in what is going on (if you find it good from your point of view) as that can speed-up the progress towards a final usable product. A Hindi distro could be the beginning of other products coming into indian languages.

Dear Ritesh, See www.indlinux.org. A Hindi interface to GNU/Linux is downloadable from the site and you can also sign up as a volunteer to help us with the translations and technical work that still remains to be done.
