Um…perhaps your methodology may be a little questionable? What you have determined is that most searches containing the word “java” originated from India.
That may simply mean that the most people looking for Java jobs or training (or interview questions and exam or homework answers) are in India. I do know that when I do a technical search for a specific item in Java technology, it almost never needs “java” as a search term.
So let’s not be in a big hurry to move Java One, OK?
