Hello, Is this a sign that the Free Software Movement is growing in Bangalore???
Vikram, let us begin drafting a note that brings together all the points; how dangerous it is for any country, not merely for India to accept any such thing. May be can do this on http://fci.wikia.com/. After we complete the note, we can release that as a press release and also make a representation to Karnataka; Govt of India; and to the president (who is the chancellor of all universities in India)
That will not be sufficient. It will help if we have a national level campaign on the issue involving academics from everywhere. The UGC and AIU must also be targeted. M$ does not actually run universities anywhere in the world. This proposal reflects more severely on the corruption and malpractices in the higher education sector of our country.
