I think there's a place for an India, the location, specific well-maintained tech discussion forum. The original hacker news may not be "officially" specific to any place but in practice it's very clearly of and for silicon valley first and foremost.

You can look at the trends of upvoting and frontpage activity and clearly see how the Pacific timezone affects the activity on this site. I expect an India focused forum to be most active during Indian waking hours and that alone should make it a worthwhile thing to exist.
