OK - another googly* for you - what do you think should be in the "name" 
tag for India**?

As I understand it in OSM the Indian OSM community has made a conscious 
decision to use English there (see 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/304716#map=4/21.90/82.79 ), 
though someone from that community could no doubt provide more detail.

Best Regards,
Andy
