i asked RMS this when I had just finished seminar in college(virar) :

Can you suggest me what activities we should be in now.

If you write to fsf-wg@gnu.org.in, they can suggest a number of activities.

One vital activity is training people to the point where they can begin developing free software that will be of use globally. User groups in developing countries are always tempted to focus on activities that are useful exclusively for people in that country--but remember, the free software you use exists because we focused on activities that would be useful world-wide. Naturally you may want to work on localization and local popularization, but don't let that make you forget to contribute to the global stock of free software.

It would be good also to aid efforts to insist on free software in Indian schools. Giving kids copies of Windows is like giving them tobacco--it's a plan to make them addicts when they grow up.

And in general, please work on political organizing. Tell Indian voters that a good way to recognize politicians who can resist influence peddling is to pick the ones who firmly support free software. If they could resist Microsoft's influence peddling, they can resist anyone's influence peddling.

Posting this message on your web site could be useful for spreading the word.
