One reason why you see a lot of women in Indian IT industry is, a lot of the Indian IT services companies prefer to hire women. There is a good employment opportunity. In India middle-class children are taught from a very young age to be a qualified employee (not a business enterpreneur) when they grow up. So getting a job is kind of a big deal. And the arranged marriage system forces everyone to have a job if they want their profile to look good in the market. So, even though you see a lot of women in the Indian IT sector and a lot of women students taking IT courses, most of them end up in the outsourcing/services industry. If you go to the product companies (like SUSE etc.) the ratio of women will be far lesser than the services part. There will always be exceptions though. The main point that I would like to highlight is, you are not doing anything wrong in Dutch nor do we do anything great in India to increase women’s participation in IT, it is just market dynamics :)

If you are Dutch, I wish you have traveled to places like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tranquebar where you can see a lot of Danish buildings, a few settlers etc.
