I have been curious about the state of PR in India, as I have wondered in this blog before if PR is an industry that could face outsourcing. I think it is possible (many disagree).
Now, I really have no idea about the practice of PR in India, so I guess you could say my opinion is not fully informed (it was more based on price economics vs. actual knowledge of practice). But now, I have found a couple of sources of information that I will certainly look in on from time to time.
Here is an online portal for marketing and PR news.
Here is a blog by an PR person in India, who thinks the state of PR there is fairly pathetic.
If you know of other sources of information or blogs on the industry in India, please add them in the comments.
Seems like you're on to something here in India. I'll let you know of any other links about PR in India.

I am surprised to read that “the state of PR in India is fairly pathetic”.
The PR industry in India is on the threshold of radical change, thanks to the boom in the last couple of years. ‘Knowledge’, ‘research’, ‘strategy’, ‘processes’, ‘systems’, ‘evaluation methods’ are the new buzzwords… Interviews of India’s PR professionals, featured by portals like exchange4media and prdomain, portray this emerging trend…
I work as Associate Director with Adfactors Public Relations, and my blog focuses on public relations. It would be my privilege to be in touch with you.

PR in INDIA has evolved over last decade or so and can be classified as faily mature market with some very senior experts available.
You can also look at www.prinindia.com, which is a members only service through which any organization can get access to do media outreach, editorial services or simply get expert advice with a network of 150 cities, making it the biggest network in any single country worldwide
