Orkut the google owned social network has got more media attention in India that any other website for all the wrong reasons be it fake profiles, hate communities and also sex and drugs. But its seems like more and more of orkut will be available to Indian users in the near future.

This is because google plans to launch indian language versions of orkut in the near future! So dont be surprised if you see an hindi version of orkut which allows users to scrap other users in hindi!

Along with indian languages Google also plans to make orkut available on mobile! Now that would be some move because Indian mobile users are more than 100 million with more than 6 million users being added every month! even if we count a dismal GPRS connectivity and usage rate still you can think of a sizable userbase especially among the metro and large city based youth which anyways forms the current user base of orkut which has almost 13.5% of its 47 million user population from India! Orkutting on mobile could become the next big fad.. God help both the moral police and the actual police in trying to fight this orkut mania!
