I'm an Indian and I beg to disagree. I have made small contributions to open source projects, including fixing typos, and have never felt unwelcome.

I'm a teacher of economics and open source software including Python, Julia, LaTeX, R and Linux are essential to my work. I would find it hard to pay for proprietary equivalents of all the open source software I use. I consider it my duty to contribute back in whatever way I can.

My national pride is not hurt just because another Indian who did something wrong was criticised on the Internet.
