We need to strengthen FSF-INDIA more and that will need active and
official support of many people. 
If we are against some Gov. policy, and if we approach the Gov. about
that, then the number of people in the group will matter a lot. 
Very few people in India know about FSF. 
They know about Linux but not about GNU/Linux or FSF. 
So I think that numbers are important. 
Hence have a chain of User Groups under FSF.
