Looks like a glitch (as the reddit thread indicates). DDG works fine on BSNL.

Note that r/India is very intolerant of views which are pro-India, and has consequently become an echo chamber for endia folk. I'd take anything coming out of this subred with a bucket of salt.

The fact that it works on BSNL means absolutely nothing. The implementation of blocking across ISPs is extremely inconsistent: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.08590

/r/india heavily skews liberal and anti-Modi. That is not the same thing as being intolerant of pro-India views.

Oh it is now anti Modi. I remember back in 2014 when every other comment and post was 'wow Modi will transform this country, Mumbai and Delhi will become New York'

I used to get banned just for asking 'how will he get the money to do so?' or for asking proof on past experiences as the PM's CM term of the state of Gujarat wasn't exactly as promising but /r/india had lost their mind worshipping Modi and hating Congress.

They now hate both Congress and BJP :D

This is the equivalent of 'works on my computer'

Pray tell me who gave you the authority of deciding who is pro-India and who is anti-India? Were your ancestors among Nehru/Gandhi/Bipin chandra/ other freedom fighters who gave their life for democracy?

Were your ancestors among the brilliant minds who drafted the ideology of this state to become a secular republic and not fall in the dictatorship trap like all ex British colonies except India have fallen into?

Who exactly do you think you are to distribute certificates of nationalism?

Pro-India is not the same as Pro-Modi
