Re: [ilugd] up nic registration forms [OT]
[snip sarcastic remarks about what a steaming pile of donkey dung the UP government site is for normal people] I had a revelation on the web economy...I just discovered how closely online life mimics real life. You know how all these hurdles the government puts in means you are encouraged to use a tout (or do the bribing yourself)? Well, we have cybertouts. etouts. Whatever the hell you want to call them. Pay them the extortion money and they'll do the nasty.judging from the pricing for pulling out a simple birth certificate (Rs 20 if you personally go to MCD Delhi, no idea how much in other states, and about USD 108 (about Rs4200) at the e-tout yourmaninindia.com) E-governance for the common man is still some way away.

UP is #1 actually (ref: http://cyberjournalist.org.in/census/cenindia.html) I meant country as subset of world, not state as subset of country. So UP alone should be in the top 6 of countries by population if it were a country is my assertion.
