I don't have soft corners (or prejudices for that matter) for any place
or language being somewhat an unanchored person myself.

In hindsight, a statment like "think twice about attending" was
inappropriate and I'm sorry that you read it that way. 

All I'm saying is that venue matters (contradicting Kenneth) and giving
examples saying that even tiny things like dietary preferences and
things like that would affect people's decisions to come.

That being said, conducting it in a place that's more cosmopolitan (like
Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai) would be preferable to conducting it in a
smaller city for these reasons.
