I'm very interested to understand more on the topic "women and free software in India"
As I could 'perceive' being in some events in India, the situation is a little bit terrible.
Which are these events you have mentioned.
Women absolutely separated not to say 'segregated'
This gave me the impression that not being talking to a group of activists for freedom since women was outside.
When one abstracts the concept of freedom to "Free Software" alone, one will be blind to the issue that you have raised and to a lot of other burning issues in this Country.
Was that just my perception and impression?
Please research on the archives of this mailing list.
You must be knowing that there are bigot soldiers on the march here to enforce an obsolete ideology. Welcome to my country sir.
IMHO "Women and free software" narrows down this issues to a level where things might blur and one might come to the wrong conclusions.
You can ask more direct questions, like how many of you gentlemen here make their own food(atleast help women in the kitchen), how many wash their own clothes, how many here pay the maid sevant a decent salary, how many have taken dowry to marry, how many have seen women as equals.. and so on and so forth.
