I'll try to explain my reasoning a little, bear with me.
With #FreeSoftware, people think they know what free means already. It sparks no curiosity.
IME #OpenSource is better-known, but people just think it means "free of cost".
#Libre doesn't mean (or even hint at) anything to Indians, unless they're already #FOSS geeks.
