So, the first thing you can do is to e-mail th TRAI on their comments email, which is : advqos@trai.gov.in You probably shouldn't copypasta someone else's email on this as it will lead to them beleiving that a few people are spamming their inbox. Some tooltips on what to write would be:
Some tooltips on what to write would be:
Refer to the recent Net Neutrality agitation, and the subsequent FCC ruling,
Talk about how loss of revenue to Telecos should not be the bar to progress,
Talk about how Net Neutrality laws have already been enacted in The Netherlands after a similar agitation there,
If you want to, talk about how rulings in favour of allowing said regulation are anti-development, and not what you expect from the Government.
What else can I do?
You can tweet the issue out and raise publicity. Since this ruling affects widely used services such as WhatsApp and Skype, more people should be willing to listen.
Dude all this takes too long.
Well, yeah, you can either take 5 minutes now or bitch endlessly later. It's your choice.

@arkarjun you could make a cartoon like http://theoatmeal.com/blog/net_neutrality
Could take ideas from http://aravindet.svbtle.com/appu-and-the-bus-operators
learnlearn.in/net-neutrality/
Some Mozillians and people in Bangalore are also trying to do things.

@vik do you think hamaralinux can participate in a campaign like battelforthenet.com ? Net Neutrality India Team is preparing for it. Hamara could show non-obtrusive banners, and also put itself in the campaign page...
Pirate Vik Tue 7 Apr 2015 6:09PM
@akshay yes - that sounds like it aligns very well with us. Send us what you want us to do via our dev mailing list?
Akshay Tue 7 Apr 2015 6:21PM
@vik okay! I shall post as soon as we gain some clarity, put together a few web pages, scripts, etc.. netneutrality.in will be the central point

I think we should make a wordpress plugin similar to how we did internet blackout day (we can just change the date and text) and blackout all websites on April 24th.

There is a dedicated campaign site http://netneutrality.in
