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.
