Comparing TOI with Pluggd.in is a terrible parallel. TOI (Times of India) is world's largest read english daily with very high reputation in the country.

That said, I do agree with you that Indian Gov have had some past cases of overspending. But when things like 9/11 (New York) and 26/11 (Mumbai) happen, it's the Government we blame first. India is shifting towards a massive (given the population) National electronic ID infrastructure, security is needed.

Moreover, creating an OS is hardly a significant expense in a country's budget. After an event like 26/11 and given the fact that India is about to host multiple worldwide sporting events in next 1-2 years, this hardly looks like a waste.

Refer this: " Moreover, creating an OS is hardly a significant expense in a country's budget. After an event like 26/11 and given the fact that India is about to host multiple worldwide sporting events in next 1-2 years, this hardly looks like a waste."

That is one confused assessment of reality dude. Are you like saying guzzling down millions means nothing for a poor country like India?

And dude saying "TOI is world's largest bla bla" and then commenting The articles are badly written does really prove your mental state, is it?

The estimated Union budget for India this year is 10,20,838 Crore Indian Rupees (1 crore = 10 Million). Yes, building an OS is hardly an expense.

I was commenting on Pluggd.in article being written badly.
