Hi Muthu, thanks for reporting this! Looks like this is related to issue20087 whereby the X11 locale data for TA_IN is using TSCII but the glibc supported file has the UTF-8 alias.

Pending a resolution to that bug, I think your best course of action would be to try to get this corrected upstream in x11, the code is here:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/blob/master/nls/locale.alias.pre#L1078

and their issue tracker is here:

Assuming that it gets accepted upstream, it should be simple enough to regenerate the locale module to use it.
