Setting up a FreeBSD mirror in India would be welcome, but it does
require someone to donate the necessary hardware and bandwidth.
Getting someone -- or more likely, some business or university, to do
that is a matter of having an active user community, preferably with
some companies using and seeing the benefits of FreeBSD and of
generating some critical mass around the idea. It doesn't take a huge
number of people, but they would have to be close enough together to
interact.
Cheers,
Matthew
