This patch looks good to me. As a native speaker you have the utmost
advantage when reviewing changes like this, as I had when reviewing
Jeff's Spanish related locale changes.

I would go one step further than Jeff does and say that we should be
working with CLDR to reduce our difference to zero. The fact that you
match CLDR is a good indication of correctness.

Please check this in with an updated ChangeLog talking about fixing
August.

I'm shocked that Wednesday has been written as Tuesday for the last
12 years in mr_IN :-( I assume it speaks to the size of distro local
patches which fix things like this...

Cheers,
Carlos.
