I really don't know what the reason for this is. I have tried to bring several friends of mine to the meet, but, for some reason, the focus and interests of several people in IITM at the time seemed to be on just using Linux as a substitute for Windows, and little more. Another set seemed to fear that they didn't know enough to be able to participate in the LUG meets; I was also in this category, till I understood that the LUG wasn't for geek discussions (alone), but ordinary users of varying levels trying to exchange knowledge and ideas. It would be nice if the "balkanization" was less, since, I am absolutely certain that everyone would benefit from exchanges at the LUG.
