What is .இந்தியா?
IANA delegated .இந்தியா on February 6, 2011, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on India: the capital is New Delhi, languages include English, Hindi and Tamil, the currency is the Indian rupee (INR) and the international dialing code is +91.
India shares land borders with 6 countries, so the ccTLDs next door are .bd (Bangladesh), .bt (Bhutan), .mm (Myanmar), .cn (China), .np (Nepal) and .pk (Pakistan).
IANA lists National Internet Exchange of India as the manager of .இந்தியா, with an address in India. The registry's website is https://registry.in. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
On the technical side, .இந்தியா is served by 4 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. It is also DNSSEC-signed: the root zone carries a DS record for .இந்தியா, which lets validating resolvers check its answers cryptographically. Registration data is published over WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.nixiregistry.in).
India also has other country-code domains in the root zone: .in, .ಭಾರತ (Kannada), .ଭାରତ (Odia), .ভাৰত (Bangla), .ভারত (Bangla), .భారత్ (Telugu), .ભારત (Gujarati), .भारतम् (Devanagari), .भारत (Devanagari), .भारोत (Devanagari), .بارت (Arabic), .بھارت (Arabic), .ڀارت (Arabic), .ഭാരതം (Malayalam) and .ਭਾਰਤ (Gurmukhi).
