BREAKING: Telegram's founder accuses India's biggest telecom company of secretly blocking Telegram for millions of users outside India.
Pavel Durov says Reliance is using a method called BGP hijacking, a technique where a company corrupts internet routing tables to redirect or block traffic from specific apps and websites.
In simple terms, Reliance is manipulating how internet traffic flows globally to cut off access to Telegram for users in countries like the UAE.
Durov says this appears intentional because Reliance has ignored multiple reports flagging the issue.
He is also calling on all network operators worldwide to reject unauthorized routing announcements from Reliance to stop the hijacking and restore normal internet access for their users.
Durov suspects both Reliance and Meta are jointly behind the recent lobbying effort to get Telegram banned in India entirely.

It's honestly surprising how far web development has come.
Kolkata’s tram journey began in 1873 with horse-drawn trams. Later came steam trams, and in 1902, Asia’s first electric tram.
On the city’s streets, trams have not only carried people from one end to another, but have also carried Kolkata’s memories, culture, and emotions.
With time, many tram routes have disappeared, but the tram itself has not.
Having witnessed two World Wars, famine, independence, pandemics, and countless changes, the tram continues to survive even today.
Because the tram is not just a memory of the past—it is the heartbeat of Kolkata and a symbol of a greener future.
