The Issue

India has 22 official languages. But the Central government websites (such as india.gov.in) are available only in Hindi and English. The native speakers of other languages who do not know English struggle a lot due to this. The important documents in these websites such as the Constitution of India, the Indian Penal Code, Amendments and Rights of the citizens are available mostly in Hindi and English.

Even though translations are available at every state government's website(and also the central government's websites by searching hard), it is not very easily available. As the digital face to our country, our central government websites should showcase our language diversity by making all parts of the websites available in all 22 Indian languages. 

All the government's publicly available documents should be available in all the 22 Indian languages right at our websites. Few of the websites to mention are 

http://india.gov.in/

http://goidirectory.nic.in/

http://indiacode.nic.in/

http://supremecourtofindia.nic.in/

This list could be very large. But, to start with, at least, the websites which are the face to the Indian government and the judicial systems should be available in all the 22 Indian languages. Support the cause and we can show the world India's beautiful language diversity.
