Just keep it as *Wikimedia India discussion list*.
The list discusses all wikimedia India related topics irrespective of the
fact that whether the topic is related to English wiki projects (India
specific topics) or Indian language wiki projects or some other topics
related to wikimedia India.
:) There is no room for English vs Indian languages fight here. English is
used as the common medium of language to communicate between different
language communities. That itself shows the importance of English.

I kind of agree with Achal on this one, the
description should be changed
to be as inclusive as possible. It's topics related to India, Indic
languages might be considered a subset of the overall plan but it's not the
only focus of this list, or am I wrong in assuming that?
It seems ironic to exclude English since almost all the discussion on this
list has been in English.

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,

Dear admins of WikimediaIndia-l and others
connected to it,
I only noticed recently that the list description for WikimediaIndia-l
reads "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia."
Personally, I find that a bit limiting - given that it (seems) to
exclude English - which is of course an official Indian language, though
not everyone knows that.
I'd appreciate it if you considered changing the title appropriately, to
perhaps "Discussion list on Wikimedia projects in and about India" or
something to the effect. Others might have thoughts on this too (or
better title suggestions)?
Thanks,
Achal
