.shiksha is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is Afilias.[1]
The application was issued a GAC Early Warning by the government of India. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[2]
The Indian warning notes that the TLD translates to "education" from Hindi, and as such should be associated with officially and legitimate educational instituions in India as deemed appropriate by the government itself.[3]
