Thanks all for the sharing your thoughts on this.
While we have a kind
of consensus to move ahead with the creation, I wish to understand the
concerns of those who think it may not be needed. I agree we will have a
problem with "too many lists " always.. Once each Indian language community
gets more active and mature, we will need separate mailing lists for the
better co-ordination and micro collaboration.
I would like to clarify.
1) wikimediaindia-l remains the the most important mailing list and
primary platform for the Wikimedia India community to interact each other.
2) This new mailing list is not for replacing on-wiki discussions.

Agree with Tinu; What's in a name? ...as long
as the list has some
proper name, its ok. Also, traffic in the new list might pick up once it is
actually started.
However, I don't think that this should be used as a substitute for
onwiki discussions.
