@the_complex_one Thanks, definitely sounds interesting. Great to see someone coming up. Would be very very excited to see this happen with or without me. All the best to you. I hope that investors do look into it.

India's tech dependence, 12/16: Every web address you type leaves India.
India runs none of the 13 root DNS servers. Local mirror copies cut delay, but the right to change the root zone stays outside India. Hosting a copy is not control.

every time something like this happens i am deeply disgusted by the amount of vulgarity displayed in the name of nationalism.
every such episode makes the task of anyone trying to do good a hundred times harder. you celebrate incompetence and deserve to suffer its consequences not others.
