[FSF India] Re: WB Govt ties up with MSFT

[Satish Babu]

I believe that there should be a local group who can take up this issue and 
lobby the government. Are we aware of any individual or groups in WB who can 
highlight the dangers of this tie-up? Can we operate through local NGOs? 
After working in NGOs for long, I think NGOs can be powerful allies in this 
struggle.

I also think that FSF-India should be prepared, with appropriate tools (at 
the very least, a dossier of documents that explain our position, and quoting 
examples of governments of other provinces and countries) to respond to such 
situations at short notice. 

Raju's letter is powerfully drafted. I wonder if such a letter should be sent 
by snail-mail or e-mail? Would clogging up the CM's mailbox brand us as cyber 
terrorists?
