from the self-post dept.

Looks like many installations and scripts that depend on downloading code from github now fails

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ is opening on Airtel and Jio, without any issue. No VPN or DoH set.

The Indian government seems to have an uncanny tendency to block the most innocuous and popular domains.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were to ban Google because it hosted a link to a phishing site or something

They do not understand technology. Moments of brilliance like UPI get drowned out by mountains of incompetence.

Do I recall correctly that UPI was part of their ploy to ban cash? Technologically interesting, sure. But hardly brilliant.

it would help if you could share the names of the ISPs, and the DNS servers being used; where you're seeing this "blocker".

"INDIA", "GOVERNMENT", "blocked".

These are POWERFUL usages of words.

Please confirm with multiple / official sources before making such claims.
