You may be able to accept donations from outside india.
- They can wire the money to any NRE account (non resident-external)
which is a repatriable tax haven, where the funds stay in rupees and they can write to you a rupee cheque. Most desis have an NRE account in india (ICICI and HDFC getting the bulk of customers) and for those who dont, they can send the funds through an account holder which still keeps everything kosher.
If this works i am more than ready to help out. Depending on what you would prefer i can make a donation or i can take up a fellowship.
Whichever is more helpful.
