Thank you for your contribution to the glibc locales.

The glibc maintainers no longer read this mailing list, because it is
so filled with spam it is hard to see the real messages on it.

If you want this locale change to make it into the glibc source, you
should add it to a bug request in the glibc bugzilla.  Are you aware
of <URL:http://www.student.uit.no/~pere/linux/glibc/>?  It is a web
page with information about locales in glibc.

I notice bugzilla bug #26 about the ta_IN locale.  Perhaps you should
contact that bug reporter and discuss the correct locale values with
him?  There are other bugs reported on other Indian locales.  You
might want to check out #428 and #982 as well.

Lets continue this discussion on the libc-locales mailing list.
