I agree fullblown Festival is better than both espeak and flite, but 
beware of its size.

...and beware that mbrola (no e in front) is non-free.  License does not 
permit commercial redistribution, so probably relevant for Hamara!

Nice to know that CDAC has worked on this.  Thanks for sharing!

Do you know if there is any discussion in public(!) about this effort - 
e.g. someone kindly asking them where they have published their work?

If not, then I can recommend to (kindly!) ask them about that - e.g. at 
the new public mailinglist on Debian Alioth: 
boss-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
