Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)
As the title suggests, this presentation is aimed at bringing out the nuances of the Indian Copyright Act. Further, there are quite a few areas wherein the Indian Act directly/ indirectly carves out certain exception. My proposed paper would try to touch upon those aspects which could thereafter create a separate category so that we could upload Indian details/ information without much ado.
In fact more than the wikipedia project, other allied wikimedia projects would benefit more from a India specific Copyright understanding.      

Sorry that my abstract fails at the 'atleast 300 word' test. If given a chance, would definitely correct the lacuna.
