The Govt of India has a clear policy that all govt websites should
have Universal Accessibility. See this link
http://darpg.nic.in/darpgwebsite_cms/Document/file/Guidelines_for_Government_websites.pdf
This document was created by NIC and even they do not follow it!
Interestingly the Department Of Telecommunications websites are "IE
ONLY" websites. (www.dot.gov.in)
Very Unfortunate! Decision makers should be made aware of the basic
requirement of users.
