there is difference between gok and iok. iok supports Indic inscript mim keymap
files as well as indic xkb keymap parsing.
We were in need of simple onscreen GUI that provide much more functionality to
end users. So we developed it separately.

iok supports 1:1 keymappings parsing. And I see other m17n keymaps are not 1:1
so they cannot be enabled in iok.

As xkb indic keymaps are nothing but similar to Indic Inscript standard(m17n
keymaps).
