For much the same reasons there is everywhere else in the world,
including the US.  Much of it historical enmities, generated by
religious bigotry, of all religions.  As I said in another mail in
this thread, I consider all ideologies, religious and otherwise, to be
bad things.  However, religion is so deeply embedded in the world that
it's hard to dislodge it.  But that's a separate topic altogether.

There's a dearth, yes.  Though the amount of Tamil writing is
increasingly large, and several Hindi magazines now do have web sites.
One reason is that most Indians who are likely to have internet access
do speak English; and most internet news sites were originally set up
to cater to Indians abroad, the domestic audience has grown only in
the last 2-3 years.
