I am a fan of the logo, although I do think the theme is a bit questionable.
Maybe make it the colors of India?

[note]========== BEGIN - Design Quality ==========[/note]
When I first opened the page to go to your site, I was really impressed. The logo looks great and the theme itself is very nice and simple. I do, however, think the colors (the orange, the green, and the white) are a little bright when you all put them together. At first it hurt my eyes a little, but after a minute I was used to it. I personally think you should make a dark theme as well in case other members prefer that over the light one. I like the fact that it is really easy to navigate through and while I was looking at the profiles it has a really nice design. I also like the userbars but I think they could be just a little smaller.

Good
[note]========== BEGIN - Site Statistics ==========[/note]
As I started looking further into the site, the statistics are okay. You're around a week old and you have 6 members. That is good for a new forum but as you grow, you should definitely expand your advertisements so you can get more members as your site gets older. I personally think you should have a few more posts on your forum than It has now.
It seems as though you are the only one posting each day and that is only 1-2 posts. You should be posting a lot more each day so when people come to join your site, it will look active and they will join because they will be able to tell you're really dedicated into getting your forum started.
Some of the categories you have on your forum such as General Discussion and the Entertainment boards should probably be combined. It is really hard to tell what niche your forum is. I am seeing more of a general discussion board, but I am thinking you're aiming towards an India based forum because of the name? You should probably clear that up a little bit to make it more understandable on what your forum is really based on.

[note]========== BEGIN - Spelling & Professionalism ==========[/note]
While looking at the front page of the forum, the first thing that pops up when I start to read is the descriptions of the categories. Some of them have punctuation marks and others don't. They are also very short. You should probably fix the punctuation and grammar issues that are going on and then focus on making the descriptions a little longer. Some of the descriptions are also not very clear on what you are able to talk about. I am not sure if you meant to spell news as "Newz" on one of the category names, but you should probably change it to "News". The description of that board is "Discuss about the recent news". The first thing you want to do is change that to something along the lines of "Is there something going on in the news that you want to chat about? You're in the right place!" I also think you should make it clear on what news you are meaning. Are you talking about India's news or world news? I was a little bit confused on that so I am sure other people would be as well. Making the descriptions longer will also make people want to post in those sections as well. Also, on some things such as the Indian Politics forum, it says "Analyze and discuss about the Indian Politics". I think you should change that to something along the lines of "In this section, you can discuss the Indian Politics!"
If you will take my advice, fix some grammatical errors, and make your descriptions longer, I am sure that will make people want to post on your forum. 🙂

Final Remarks
I do believe your forum has a lot of potential. If you show that you are truly dedicated and take some of my advice and work hard, I am sure your forum will be thriving in no time!
Your Score
I love the forum icons. They look really nice and obviously suit your forum niche. The logo looks great too. The theme is good but it's a bit plain, nothing too exciting about it except for the bright colours. Your forums havn't been posted in a while so as an admin you need to go around and post new topics everywhere

Hello there! Just thought I'd give you my two sense while I'm in a feedback mood today. So, the first thing I'd like to start with is the design of your forum. The overall design and layout of the forum is awesome. I love the colors as they all blend together wonderfully. I think my favorite thing about the design is the logo. It's awesome, to be honest.
One thing that concerns me is that the genre, or niche, is hard to determine. I'm lost as to what the forum is about. If the site is about India, I'd think there would be more boards related to India discussions instead of two. To me, that just seems weird. I do see that you made some changes based on your reviewer's recommendations so I give you Kudos for that.
Well, good luck! I think your board shows tremendous promise, but you need to take the steps to get it there!

Honestly, when I first saw your forum, I was in awe. The logo grabbed my attention right from the start. I love the font choice as well as the colors and effects on the logo's text. The overall design is colorful and professional, yet simple and effective. Based on first impressions alone, I'd join your forum.
Excellent
The Overall design of your forum is custom and original. I see many forums with the same layout, same graphics, etc. While the layout of your forum is similar to others, I cannot fault you for that as it's standard with your forum's software.
As I said in my initial "First Impressions" area, I love the design of the forum. You did an excellent job on the logo and the icons. I like how different they are from other forums. I love the fact that the site is colorful. The colors aren't distracting or hard on the eyes. Everything flows and blends well together, and there are smooth transitions throughout the site. I'm very impressed.
Excellent
Content wise, I think you're off to a good start. Your forum is still new, and there are not an overwhelming amount of boards on your site. I hardly ever see forums related to specific countries and cultures. That is original.
The issue that I have is that you have three boards specific to India/Indian news, culture, and travel. The rest of your boards are all off-topic or general discussion areas. I think it would be better if you merged some of the general discussion areas into one board and added a couple of additional boards that relate to the overall topic of your forum, Indya (India).
You could move the posts from "Movies, Tv Shows, Music, & Sports" into "Chit Chat" as they could, potentially, be considered general discussion posts. Then, you can remove the previously mentioned board altogether. The "Science & Technology" board should move to the "General Discussion" category. Then, take and move that entire category beneath the main focus of the forum; "Indya Discussions." When you have finished with that task, you can remove the "Entertainment" category altogether and your focus areas are located towards the top of the forum where they should be.
As for adding additional discussion areas related to your forum's overall topic, you could try adding Indya Cuisine. That's the only idea I could come up with for added discussion on your forum. Your members could post recipes and discuss the different types of Indian foods.

Honestly, I think you're doing great with your forum. Had I had any extra time, I'd join your forum. I wish you the best of luck with it!

Your forum looks awesome, it really does. The theme looks really good, the loading time is quick, and the logo is really good. The only thing I could suggest (and this is being fairly nit-picky) is to eliminate some of the blank space on the right side of your header. There's currently a huge hole in it. It would look much better if you put almost anything there; even if you decided to move the footer ad up there. Anyway, best of luck with your forum. 🙂
