A nice insight into the advantage Linux offers to India, posted by Dana
Blankenhorn at http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=296

Excerpt:
There are 15 official languages recognized by the Constitution in India, and
Indiapress.Org offers a selection, but even this underestimates the situation.
There are newspapers in 87 languages, radio shows in 71 and 58 different
languages are spoken in India’s schools. There are over 1,600 dialects. How do
you serve such a market? With a closed source operating system you wait for the
vendor to decide there is a market for your language, or you learn another
language. With open source you create a team and get to work. It is possible
that, in time, Indians will be able to get Linux in any language they are
comfortable with. It’s unlikely this will happen with Windows.

Advantage, Linux.
