It was not a restriction the founding EC members put in did but a limitation required by the authorities (as advised by our consultant) to get the registration of the society through.

We do know there are indophiles around the world who may want to sign up. Unfortunately we didn't have that flexibility then.

Hello,

I read that Wikimedia India does not accept member who are not Indian nationals.

This comes as a big surprise, and I don't see any reason for it.
As far as I know, membership in a non-profit in India is not limited to Indian nationals.

A change whould be most welcomed.

Thanks,

Yann Forget, from Ahmedabad
