I don't agree. The point is simply to make the list more inclusive to all Indians (and everyone else) interested in Wikimedia in India, and this includes those working in English. Having said that, I don't think the title has stopped anyone from posting on subjects not related to a specific Indian language Wikimedia project.
But if the intention is to include the widest possible group of people why not say so explicitly?
Achal.

Hoi, There are several mailing lists that are about the English Wikipedia. The problem with including discussing particular English subjects on the Indian mailing list will not help in coming to a consensus in the English language community. My expectation is that when English becomes a major topic, it will drown out much of the language issues that are specific to India and the organisational issues that are specific to India.
It is the same as with a developers list for India. It is the perfect way of ghettoising yourself and effectively become more frustrated and helpless. Thanks, GerardM
