He simply mentioned 'remote part of India' NOT 'a part of India that yet lacks civilization'.
I recently went to a remote part of India (Uttar Pradesh someplace) that has only one school and 3 computers (with pirated XP not linux).. and was quite a civilized place and guess what they don't know linux and are not even aware of a concept called 'Unix/Linux'.
the 3 computers are in the school? i bet there is some guy somewhere there, possibly in a browsing centre who knows about linux
Kids are simply thankful that they have a school around.. the grown-ups envy as they had to go out of the town for higher (secondary) education.
The town (Gokul near Mathura) is a religious place and has only one trainer (in the school), who is not aware of Linux. The town has no browsing center though I could be wrong..
