India is a pretty large country, they have a pretty diverse language culture as well. So if we do put tamil on the signs, it does not mean all indians will understand them. It definitely makes more sense to use english. Plus, you have to imagine the size of the signboards if we are to include every single language/dialect. Also, if i remember correctly, i do remember seeing tamil signs in the airport, though not for every single facility. i don’t see any issue. what’s the big deal?
