Only thing great about the current Indian government is their PR. BharatNet was launched on 25 October 2011 (previous government), to connect all the villages in India through Optical Fibre network. The deadline for the completion has extended several times and the last deadline was March 2020. By today's announcement, the deadline is extended by 3 more years!

I think, its because most people In India use Cyber Cafes, where you get only outdated PC's running XP (sometimes Windows 98) & IE 6.

Some workers in Cyber Cafes don't really know of FF or Chrome. They just think IE is the only way to surf internet.

We had DOS based terminals in our college computer lab. Each of us had a different working directory, but the directories were all accessible by each other. Once I and my friend opened a directory of a girl student and created a batch file named "cd.bat" which prints some garbage texts on the screen. Whenever she runs "cd" command from her working directory, this batch file would get executed!
