Things that came to my mind (you might have already considered these) 1) Digital library of India - http://www.dli.ernet.in/ 2) What about resources on the IGNOU website? I remember reading some effort on their part to make available their courseware "freely" (not sure what this free meant though)\ 3) THere was this report from the NKC which did some recommending and listing (not Indian) of resources online. Thought it might be helpful
