hallo Ravi, I can affirm your points about india. My experiences on a project in Chennai about flood prevention, wich we almost finished, was that for most of the planning authorities GIS = ArcGIS or MapInfo. If they use GIS at all. But on a workshop with the authorities held in Chennai most of them were deeply impressed when we showed them our mapbender-geoserver-postgis-Kombination (wich is standard) to provide an internet-based tool to collect spatial knowledge from stakeholders. And I'm sure, this is not very special for india.
