.in registry creates test IDN names in Hindi and English

[a2zofb2b]

I noticed that .in registry has created test IDN Names in Hindi and Tamil.

Registry.In

http://உதாரணம்.IN
இது ஒரு தமிழ் IDN உதாரணப் பக்கம்

Here is the whois info
Whois lookup | Registry.In

http://उदाहरण.in
यह वेब पेज एक हिंदी आई डी एन का उदाहरण है.

I think they will eventually alias उदाहरण.भारत to उदाहरण.IN
and
உதாரணம்.இந்தியா to உதாரணம்.IN

this was there since long i guess ? read it on some idn wiki.

What was there before was
http://உதாரணம்.பரிட்சை and http://उदाहरण.परीक्षा

These domains were used by ICANN to test the IDN extension
