Off topic. There is a page `counter` at the very end of the page... Thinking if its susceptible to a DDOS, or any other crazy stuff.

Probably just a relic from 90/00s? Page counter was very prevalent during that era.

yep. Looks like the 90s, is kind of cool. equally dangerous.

You are right, this is a govt. site, they are known to use super old tools and tech. Won't be surprised if this is built on some ancient CMS.

I'm curious what CamCard - Business Card Reader did to be blocked by the Indian government.

"This action was taken based on the inputs regarding these apps for engaging in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order."

Being based in Shanghai, CN.

Good for them to raise up against a totalitarian. If all free all free. But if one sided close boarder by china, do not blame others not to let its app to go to the world. Free is never one sided. So us trade.

I'd actually prefer China to keep its population's intel from the west, even if it means getting backlashes like this.

I think the closer we allow our peoples to be, the less likely it is that we will ever fight.

IMO the great firewall of China is a stumbling block in the path to world peace.

Nice. Can you also promote Foss apps while you are at it instead of pushing for more proprietary hacks in exchange of foreign proprietary hacks? Money will flow on its own.

Why? Its in the government's interest to promote MII (Made In India) rather then some foreign FOSS app.
