The link given by Pradipta

http://www.astronomyclubs.com/

also contains a list of amateur groups in the country. Besides, if you cannot find a club near your area, why dont you start one. Laws in India do not bar you from starting one. Get a groups of interested folks together, creat your own laws etc. and get started.
