Found this on /.
LinuxWorld http://www.linuxworld.com/ has an article http://www.linuxworld.com/2003/0401.indiaopensource.html with statements from the Minister of Information Technology and Communications of India stating that India is not going to support Open Source alternatives Government-wide.
Look like the government dosen't want to take sides. But whether they are keeping the options open or closing doors is the question.

===== "I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say 'Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?'" --Mike Godwin, Electronic Frontier Foundation
