If all 1500+ online chess Indian players commit to play in these matches, I am sure in Asian League we will stand within top 3 and in WL, within top 10.

There is no restriction about rating. You can join any match. Whether you get a chance to play or not, depends on how many players join from the opposition.
So how do we join?
Joining a group: Reach it's home page and click on "Join Group".
Joining a team match: Click on "Matches" link, among the matches that are open for registration, select the you wish to join and join.
Joining WL matches: You should have completed at least 10 online games before you can join a WL match.
It's a pity Team India has never won against Team Australia, Team Indonesia, Team Iraq and Team Iran in Asian and World League matches. If good Indian players at chess.com site play for India in these matches (whether otherwise they play for Team India or some other India based group), we stand extremely good chances of a much better showing in the league results. Hopefully this year there will be better representation of Indian players in these matches. Here is a link to a match that will start on 15th April 13: http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match?id=253468
Please let other Indians know about next WL match start date - 15th April, so that if they were unaware, are informed.
An interesting WL match will start on 15th May - about 100 players each side! So far it seems balanced, may be a bit in Canada's favour http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match?id=263744

The restriction to playing is not based on rating. It is based on racism.
Not really. At least not in Team India. The only requirement to become TI member is to fly Indian Flag - which for us is the proof that one's loyalties are with India.
Unfortunately chess.com does not provide a method by which your national flag can be linked with your nationality. Flag is linked to location here so some of us have to find a work around to associate ourselves with our national flag.
Congratulations to all Indians on 15th August 2013 - 67th Independence Day!
Jai Hind.

Congratulations to all Indians on Successful Launch of Mangalyaan!
What a picture perfect, text book take off!!
Maza AA Gaya.
If we are so proud, I am sure all Indians can now understand how proud US and Russians must be of their own achievements. And yet when you meet an American or a Russian in person, they are always so humble...
My SALUTE to all the scientists in ISRO who have given us this moment.
It is also a reminder to all Indians of what they are capable of doing if they are ready to work hard and fearlessly!!
*Happy Diwali*
Jai Ho!!!
