Using Unicode to Power the World's Largest Democracy (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal looks at efforts
to convert voter lists to Unicode in India. "[Professor Jitendra
Shah] explains that the voter list data already is computerized and
available in local languages. But there is no provision in the system for a
public interface in Indian languages. He believes that Linux and free
software, localized in all Indian languages, and the Unicode standard alone
can provide an affordable universal interface. "It will provide access to
people who wish to work with proprietary software as well as those who wish
to use free software", he says."
