Facebook needs to stop a homegrown Facebook alternative arising in India.

They need to stop it now, by smothering it in the crib, redirecting its potential future users into a Facebook-curated walled-garden.

Growth is required for Facebook, and India is a clear growth area, China having been largely ruled off-limits by the Chinese government.

A toehold in one of the most populous countries on the planet. Has to have the Facebook board salivating.
