I wouldn't surprised if this is an attempt to get it established in the states / Europe before it gets popular in India / Brazil. One of the reasons a lot of people left Orkut is because it got too popular in Brazil and the default language on a lot of user groups / communities became Portuguese.

Yeah that was quite annoying, to say the least.

Any and every group would be spammed to death by Brazilians until you gave up and left them one by one.

That would make sense, except that most Indian Internet users use English online. Especially those who have been on the Internet long enough to have used Orkut when it was around.
