We Indian are eternally curious about the next person and are even more eager to brag about ourselves. It is no wonder then, that Facebook has taken the Indian way of life by storm. The social networking site's 'like' symbol is now firmly planted in our heads, like it or not!

Facebook, a US based company, has recorded 5% growth in its monthly active users (MAUs) in the second most populated country in the world. From 78 million in June last year, the site's MAUs rose to 82 million in India as of 30th June 2013.

Of this, the global giant recorded 62 million mobile phone users, representing the number of people who accessed Facebook through their mobile phones in the country.

Facebook India Country Growth Manager Kevin D'Souza told The Press Trust of India that the firm believes the next billion users will come through mobile. Facebook said in a statement that across all regions, an increasing number of its MAUs are accessing Facebook through mobile devices, with users in India, Brazil and Indonesia representing key sources of mobile growth.

Facebook is here to stay, by the looks of it.
