I've downloaded it and also installed it. I've run the configure script
using --enable-iscii option.

After installing it, i've run it using the following command:
  mlterm -X=false -V -E iscii -w 16 -C Malayalam

Before installing mlterm, I did install libind.tar.gz, truetype.tar.gz and
xfstt  and also installing indian.h in /usr/lib.

Then I pressed Alt_R for ISCII inputting. But I was not able to see any
Indian language glyphs! Did I skip any step in installing it?

Again, I've seen that -C option for choosing the language doesn't verify
an invalid parameter to it. I've given any arbitray string (like XYZ, abc
etc) to it and saw it working without showing any error message. I think
it should give an error message in case of an invalid parameter; isn't it?

:   3. ISCII languages can be dynamically changed from mlconfig.

How do you I use mlconfig?

Again, Gtk is not installed in my machine? Is Gtk is necessary in order to
install mlterm?

: BTW , I sincerely would like native people's comments whether the design ,
: the implementation or the behavior of mlterm ISCII support is ok or not.

Surely I'd like to do that. :-)

With best regards.
