Yes, Facebook has had an amazing growth in India in the last year (more than any other country).<p>Facebook connects people and there are a billion people in India so it only makes sense to get them online or better yet get them online while keeping them in a walled garden for as long as possible so they can reap the maximum rewards out of it.<p>Facebook portrays this as a humanitarian effort to bring poor people online (see internet.org ads on YouTube which portrays this as giving people free electricity) but it&#x27;s only for their own benefit in the long run.<p>It&#x27;s sad to see that Facebook is trying to kill the same thing which made it what it is. Zuckerberg should wonder what it would be if 20% of India was still using MySpace because they offered it for free in 2009 and didn&#x27;t give them any option to sign up for Facebook.
