  Hi Satya,
  
  Thanks for asking these important questions.
  
  For starters, having an .भारत will lead to credibility to your site and assist you in establishing a presence in the marketplace. Though it might be a shocking fact for all the educated engineers here, a very small proportion of the Indian population is English literate.
  
  IDN (or Internationalized Domain Name in Indian Language) will help in increasing the penetration of the Internet by the use of local languages.
  
  NOTE: All the registrants of .भारत IDNs will be bound by the #-Link-Snipped-#.
  
  Here's the information currently available with us -
