As you probably discovered, by now, the three files are just three issues of
a *NEWSLETTERS* by the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology
of India.
I downloaded the first two issues, but I see no mention to any formal
proposal to Unicode. Perhaps it's in the third one.
Amongst many other piece of news, the newsletter reports (in a short notice
on page 7 of the 2nd issue) that the MAIT Consortium on Language Technology
met on September 2001, and recommended that the Unicode "font layout" for
some Indic scripts be modified. Representatives of the Ministry of
Communications & Information Technology, who where present at the meeting,
promised to "take up these recommendations with the Unicode Consortium".
