We will need registration with Ministry of Home Affairs to allow foreign nationals to register.

Hi,

This question came up last February as well. Apparently, this was a restriction placed by the Registrar of Societies in Bangalore. See - http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2013-February/009280.html

I have no idea. I just linked to the conversation because I remember it happening and searched for the same and found it.

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
