I am not aware that Helium limits which nationality of people can join. I have been there for over a year now. It is the place where I have earned more money than any other by publishers purchasing some of my articles. You can get all the information you need, or you can join by going to: http://www.helium.com
Below, from its own site, is how Helium describes itself:
Helium is also a knowledge co-operative where our writers are also our editors who read and rate every article on the site.
At Helium, we believe that everyone can contribute what they know to share with millions of readers around the globe.
At Helium, we believe readers want a choice of viewpoints – not just one opinion on any subject.
At Helium, we believe publishers need an easier, more efficient way to get the content they need.
At Helium, great writing rises to the top. And great writing reaps great rewards.
Helium’s best writers earn cash through:
Upfront Payments for contributed work
Daily revenue share

In essence Helium invites will only work for people located in countries where English is the primary language, although there are exceptions. Invites to people living in India though are likely to be rejected unless that writer can offer evidence that they have a strong grasp of English language and grammar. There has been a lot of talk about it in the Helium Community, but the basic reason was that a lot of new writers to the site were posting articles that did not meet the standards expected of the site.

Hi TimHarry...I didn't know that, so thank you. I hope Helium broadens its range or comes up with a solution so that more nationalities can take part, since it is such a good site. :)

Hi Yugasini, you are unlikely to gain acceptance into Helium. Only a few Indian writers are allowed to continue writing for Helium. Many Indian writers are terminated by Helium, due to poor command of English.
If you want to consider writing, you have to look for other writing site.
If your English is perfect, you can consider selling the artile in Constant-Content. You can charge up to $100 for a 400 words article. The article must have perfect English, even a small mistake in usage of comma is not allowed. The article must not use "I", as in first person POV.

Hi Yugasini, it's quite impossible for you to gain acceptance into Helium.
Quite some time back, Helium bars most of the Indian writers from contributing, and allows only a few good writers to continue writing.
You can go Helium, search for C V Rajan, and seeks his advice. He is one of the Indian writers who are allowed to continue writing. He has written for other writing sites too.

If you go to HubPages.com and search for Helium.com, you'll find lots of articles about the pros and cons of Helium. Personally I don't recommend them.
