If you want only local users who have ISCII fonts to read them, use
ISCII. I wouldn't be able to read such pages, though, because I don't
have any ISCII support under Mac OS X. I *do* have Unicode-based
Devanagari supportm though.
The best encoding for information interchange is to use a SINGLE
encoding, namely Unicode. For the Web, use UTF-8.
