Sometime Today, Venkatesh Hariharan assembled some asciibets to say:
If anyone can explain why there are so few Indians "uploading" to FOSS projects and what can be done to better the situation, I would be most interested in hearing them.
I think the only people who can answer that are those can but do not contribute.
We Indians are just plain lazy. That is, except the few who actually do contribute. :) Seriously though, I think most of the folks here worry about feeding their family and buying a house. The mental attitude to do programming for the sake of the fun is not acquired by most here. Students are more worried about marks and job offers. Life here is not that easy. It is a very lucky few who have developed differently.
