Thank you for reminding of that, akash! I’ve heard similar message from Africa: there is free software available but people have problems trying to download it.

There is another practical limitation we in India face quite regularly. High cost of internet access. Even if people have PCs the high cost [ its relative to what Indians can spend on technology compared to maybe someone in the US ] of accessing the internet and staying online is a big hurdle. The same applies to colleges and universities. I am sure that very software code gets written in isolation without access to tools, websites and other resources which maybe free but require you to be connected a lot.
