Indian Pirates are starting a campaign called "Ekalavya to Aaron Swartz - access (to knowledge) denied" https://www.loomio.org/d/igPz5ORr/ekalavya-to-aaron-swartz-access-to-knowledge-denied Hoping to get all your support. As one concrete step, we should translate Aaron Swartz Guerilla Open Access Manifesto to all Indian languages. http://openaccessmanifesto.org/ Please let me know if you can help with the translation in any language.
