An infomative technical discourse about Xmodmap would be unlikely to 
arise out of this discussion, as those with such knowledge have already 
explained. What has been asked can't be done, end of story. Those of us 
who want to engage in linguistic/religious/spiritual/typographical 
debates follow suitable threads where such things are discussed.

This list is starting to look like the cross-posting discussions on 
Usenet in the early 1990s.

As Nix says, can we stick to the technical stuff, and not worry too much 
about why somebody prefers to make a post about "कey maps" whilst 
refusing to use the character "क".
