Recently I found out that Android phones does not come with Indian Languages such as Malayalam and other Indian Languages pre-installed.

It was a shame that Google did not provide support for Indian languages even though Android Phones became extremely popular in India.
It was also impossible to read popular Malayalam news sites like Manorama Online without this hack!
