You can ignore this mail, if you want.
Rustom,
Here is the context -
> Sorry I dont get the context.

> Is there something else you want me to check?
Are you activating the input method like this -
1. C-x C-m l Devanagari
2. C-\
Do you see a crash like this -
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Can't activate input method `dev-aiba'")
signal(error ("Can't activate input method `dev-aiba'"))
error("Can't activate input method `%s'" "dev-aiba")
activate-input-method("dev-aiba")
toggle-input-method(nil 1)
call-interactively(toggle-input-method nil nil)
> I dont know this input method (and google does not help)
See [1]. They apparently has something to do with diacritic marks
(whatever that means).

See [2]. The table that compares two methods and is attached here for
future reference. There are 12 entries in that table where the aiba and
itrans input methods differ.
I was wondering, as someone who is more familiar with Devanagari which
of these would you prefer as the input method. If you think that you
have no particular opinion, I think we can leave the defaults as such.
Here is an entry for SHA.
