Well, the website says "A project to coordinate the integration of Indian 
language support in Debian." (actually I should add "culture" in there too.)
and there is as you pont out a honking big fluorescent Indian flag on it so
I don't see how anyone could be misled.

It just so happens that "Indian languages" are sometimes useful beyond the 
boundaries of India.  Because we are free software people not software 
hoarders we willingly share our work which may be useful to others in a 
spirit of fraternity.  That doesn't mean we will dilute our own mission 
just to fulfill some silly politically correct ideal.

South Asia isn't more accurate anyway.  Indian languages are also spoken 
by significant communities in Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, Fiji, South 
Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Guyana, Trinidad, USA, UK, and Canada.

Yes.  But only because your design is much better. :-)
