[Talk-in] parliamentry, assembly seat boundaries

[Arun Ganesh]

Thanks Jaisen.

I have updated the wiki with the added details you mentioned:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India:Boundaries

Please check if anything is missing and update the page as necessary. This
is probably the most comprehensive documentation for boundary mapping for
any country. If the scheme can accommodate India, it can probably cover any
other country too.
