Bangalore is said to be the Silicon Halli of India. The “hi-tech city” that is home to Infosys and Wipro, Indian Institute of Science and Indian Institute of Information Technology. You can’t lob a lollipop without injuring a software engineer or a hardware dealer. IT and BT trip off even the most twisted political tongues.
On Wednesday, around 8 am, this is how the official website of the government of Karnataka looked. Sure, these things happen when you are dealing with technology, but should they happen in the land of N.R. Narayana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani, and Azim Premji?

NRN and premji run outsourced websites and other applications of other countries who pay them lot of $$$. Karnataka website is created and maintained by some government IT wing which has 22 % coming from SC/ST, 27% OBCs, 10 % BCs and the rest recruited through influence. Anyway the website downtime is of no consequence to anyone.
