Comment Bocked? Probably Not (Score 1) 172
It's really funny how the websites are blocked by the Indian government.
In the past, when a huge list of websites where blocked in a single day (which included Github and others), the block was just at DNS level. So if you were using some public DNS (eg.: Open DNS), you were still allowed to visit those websites.
Several other websites are blocked only when non https websites are visited. Say for example http://archive.org/ is blocked, while https://archive.org/ is not (try it with lynx or w3m, you might get redirected to https in the popular browsers)
And not all providers block, only some.
