From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Founded in 2001, Free Software Foundation India (FSF-India) is a sister organisation to Free Software Foundation. FSF-India is based in Kerala. The Free Software Foundation India played an important role in the World Social Forum by providing information technology support.

In 2003, after a few meetings with Richard Stallman, the President of India announced that the IT infrastructure of India should be based on Free Software. (The President is a ceremonial position in India, but the endorsement is significant).
