a rhetorical question?

maybe because the dominance of English in Indian web content? And before 
the uptake of Unicode for Indian web content, most developers used hacks?

Its always difficult to explain to end users why web pages in their

their language in common web 2.0 or social networking environments. By 
end users , i mean users with limited IT knowledge.
