Bangalore's Centre for Internet and Society, launched in August 2008, is a new home for OA activism in India. It's also the new home of Subbiah Arunachalam, India's leading OA activist. According the CIS advocacy page, the organization is devoted to open standards, FLOSS, and open access. Also see the CIS FAQ and blog.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
