how do you categorize a software to be Indian? can a technology be
defined or contained within the Nation;s identity? in that case, how are the
software which come in other languages in India
(bengali/kannada/tamil/telgu..etc) be described?

it is very essential not to look at any technology as being the `whole' which
is attempted to be represented as. and instead to understand the interactions
with the technology within the specific materiality of the context as well
the specific purposes for which the interactions take place and the
relationships and the sensibilites that evolve from with it. and how the
varying sensibilities that evolve communicate with each other, not to create
a whole but to have simulataneous instances of that whole with their
independent sessions.
