sayamindu,
You can certainly write the generalized howto as you describe, but I
encourage you to also write the one for your Indian audience as it
sounds like it should be very helpful to India. I'm sure a website can
be found that will be happy to host it, and there may even be publishers
willing or eager to print it for an audience in India.
regards,
