Speaking of which it would be good (if not great) to see an Indic
insight similar to:

CJKV Information Processing is the definitive guide for tackling the
difficult issues faced when dealing with complex Asian languages --
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese -- in the context of computing
or Internet services. Unlike the English alphabet with a mere 26
letters, these complex writing systems use multiple alphabets comprising
thousands of characters. Handling such an unwieldy amount of data is
formidable and complex. Until now, working with these writing systems
was an unattainable task to most, but this book clarifies the issues,
even to those who don't understand East Asian languages. This new book
contains revised information from Ken Lunde's first book, Understanding
Japanese Information Processing, and supplements each chapter with
meticulous details about how the Chinese (hanzi), Japanese (kana and
kanji), Korean (hangul and hanja), and Vietnamese (Quoc ngu, chu Nom,
and chu Han) writing systems have been implemented on contemporary
computer systems.
