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)
Isn't all this talk a bit premature considering that so little information is available on the kind of university Microsoft is looking at? Many of the "universities" are nothing more than vocational courses on a particular field. They are not much different from the training institutes like NIIT, Aptech etc. other than matter of scale or authenticity.
It is unlikely that this is going to be like a degree college. If that is so, and this is just like any other training institution, I don't see a point why we all should be worked up on this.
