What different things you are going to do with HNI ? I mean I wanted to know the purpose of creating whole new thing similar to HN. Also need to manage both accounts personally I don't like many accounts.

Please see this - http://hackernews.in/item?id=1
since it is new, i think you can get same id and passwd(?) on HNI :)
I get the point the op is trying to make there. You see I was longing for a lot of time for something similar but which can also discuss local issues. I just feel left out when there is discussion only about the startup scene in silicon valley SF etc.
I would strongly support this initiative.
If you don't like the silicon valley skew then post more non-silicon valley stuff here.
There's a certain valley skew here because of the people engaged by HN, YC and PG, but it's hardly exclusive.
It becomes exclusive when most of you are from silicon valley. Also if I were to post something like this[1] here I wouldn't get many answers.
Your comment would carry more weight if I were from silicon valley (sorry, UK here).
As for answers, post according to your target market. Surely if you post while fellow Indians are awake you'll get answers from them? How many users are on hackernews.in that aren't on news.ycombinator.com?
