The Indian subcontinent can be regarded as an- other Europe, due to its lingual diversity. Geograph- ically, the Indian subcontinent consists of six coun- tries, namely Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and India. The total population in this part of the world is about 1,300 million and about 25 of- ficial languages are used by this population. Among the major languages of this region, Hindi and Bengali rank among the top ten most-spoken languages of the world. Over the past few years (2000-2007), a large volume of Indian language (IL) electronic documents have come into existence at a growth rate of 700.0 %. The need for developing IR systems to deal with this growing repository is, therefore, unquestionable. Con- sidering this need, the Government of India has re- cently formed a national consortium of academic and research organizations, that has been entrusted with the task of developing a Cross Lingual Information Ac- cess (CLIA) system for Indian language content. This paper will outline the issues that will need to be ad- dressed, and the activities of the newly formed consor- tium. |
