In the contemporary world, Information Technology is almost free.

The question for Third World Bahujan Samaj, is whether common people can find IT, networks, language, and knowledge filtered through these, to be a free tool in their communication, networking, information, education and social needs.

Or is IT deliberately kept out of reach by the pundits of English speaking and WTO based gate keepers, under the garb of considerations like quality of education and intellectual property rights ?

Come and debate how Bahujan Samaj and Dalit, can make effective use of Information Technology, because global power equations, now make the reality of ITisFree, transparent.

The Open Source Movement has not been able to find many active supporters from Indian IT industry. What are the reasons and politics behind the Indian IT sector ignoring Open Source Movement ?

In addition, Indian IT sector and major IT bodies have only focussed on political manipulations and overseas marketing efforts, and have not given any attention to promoting IT and lokvidya in Indian regional languages.
