Hi,
Is it a cultural issue? Do we need someone to tell us what to do? What are other reasons for not many Indians in the global FOSS scenery?
Piracy plays a major role here in India. People prefer hiring and copying pirated CDs of movies, songs etc. The same thing holds for Windoze as well. I believe awareness about FOSS will increase the moment people are made to pay for their copies of proprietary software.
