Caferati is a place for aspiring writers to meet, share and collaborate with each other. It is of Indian origin and the members meet in many cities in India. They have a number of online resources (site, google groups). Geographical accidents such as birthplace and country of residence should not worry you if you want to dive in with them and splash about. The editors are doing fantastic work to promote young writers and keep them informed of various publishing opportunities. Our own Scifi story contest (submission closes in a few days, get your story in soon) has got a number of story submission from folks who participate in Caferati, both last year and this year. Check them out.
