Matthieu CIS India in Bangalore is a good place as Oliver said - I think Nishant Shah is on this list and some other members. In addition, there are several people researching in relation to India, South Asia and the Internet - and some of this can also be found through looking at Media studies works in general since Journalism and Film so overlap with "Internet studies" - also so do Business processes, labor issues, global media industries and so on. Especially if you are looking for online social movements. I know several people (likely on this list too) are currently writing and probably have unpublished manuscripts under review (since I end up being a blind reviewer on several of those that are sent to journals connected with the academia situated in the western parts of the world - when there is a reference to India and Internet, south asia and the internet or diaspora and the internet - I get to see some of these in progress versions - but dont know the authors until they come out in published form - see the Journal of International and Intercultural Communication, Critical Studies in Media Comm, New Media and Society, Information Communication and Society... also look at gaming research in relation to Indians - I think for instance Adrienne Shaw is doing some work there - and definitely take a look at Nishant Shaw et al's work). And here's my self-promotion for this morning (but this is just a drop in the ocean of things you'll find if you expand your search beyond "internet and India" and see how "internet and India" are linked to broader issues and if you want very specific case st): Gajjala, R., & Gajjala, V. (Eds.). (2008). *South-Asian technospaces*. New York: Peter Lang, Digital Formation Series. Chopra R. & Gajjala R., (Eds) (2011) Global media cultures, and identities – Routledge. and soon going into press is: Gajjala, R (expected to be in-press – 2012).
