Get it and Good luck with it :)

Many India related domains are held by none-Indians, they also expire to.

Take a general one if you plan on targeting the global marketplace.

Take the general one EVEN when you are only targeting India FOR NOW. You'll never know: it's the World Wide Web! You might get an enquiry for two from people in other parts of the world which you may actually be able to entertain! Just my two cents.

definitely go for a general one which would appeal to the world market.

Ultimately, it is your decision. I was just giving you my personal opinion.

get a good name and a register for .COM

and if someone gets the .CO.IN and squats on it [doesnt use it to host a website after a reasonable time] then you can win it back if you have are already hosting the website. [.Co.In cant be registered by any individual unless he is registered as a business or a professional so the chances that someone will squat on it is nil....and if someone really uses it for a genuine reason you can ask him for mutual link to the others website to avoid confusion]

If you are loaded grab both and stop asking stupid qustions :D

Best have two in seperate languages - but if you are too busy to design both, you can "Point" one domain to the other till you have more time for the other.

You build one global website and then point the second local domain to your global site.
