To be quite true, the board is transforming itself into a off-Topic Local Board. 
Most of the topics started in the Indian Board are just for post count and either is unnecessary to the forum as a whole. Why do we need to know When we bought our first bitcoin?. Topics like this does generate spam and people around there are just posting to complete their post quota per week. Since they aren't being moderated, they are free to talk shit and get away with the money.
Reports in the Indian Section should be considered for a moderator to be appointed for that board, if they aren't willing to report much they are not fit to be a moderator. theymos is the only guy who can provide us these stats!
legenster is a good to be made a moderator, but we are not really sure he is ready to accept the position and work for that. He was literally inactive for most of the time last year, so what if he becomes inactive after he was appointed as a MOD? Similarly with amishmanish, (a really good poster who has better knowledge on btc and forum workings) but he isn't really active from last year.
Not true. I reports around 20-30 spams and malicious links per month for the past 1 year from the Indian Board and just 2 of them were unhandled till now. One was the Unofficial Rules, and the other was the CURA Network translation.
Handling reports doesn't work that way. Initially you report a spam, they get accumulated in the unhandled queue of the global moderators (since India board doesn't have a moderator). They handle the report when they feel like the comment you gave is right for the topic/post to be trashed. For instance, if hilarious doesn't handle the report it goes to mprep and if he doesn't handle them it reaches out to rickbig. If all the 3 have rejected them, it remains in the unhandled state forever.
Benson was from south and probably he wasn't good in Hindi. This is why the Altcoins(India) sub-board and the Translations weren't moderated right from the beginning.
The only solution to this could be, theymos should hire 2 forum users as Indian moderators. One should handle only the translations and other one should manage all the other Indian sub-boards. The Translator MOD should receive higher pay than the normal guy.

All my reports from the Local Indian board have been unhandled.

It's almost instant now means the moment anyone reports, it is marked unhandled.

However, translators even before never did a proper job as Benson never handled any reports. His Hindi was itself bad:
