I am seeing this growing trend of international tech websites redirecting to their crappy newly launched desi versions and sometimes with no way of actually visiting their mothership.
The first instance I can remember is of Yahoo which redirected me automatically to Yahoo India but did have an option to visit their international err... US website.
The next one I can think of is Gizmodo. But I do not visit them anyway much. So long.
The recent one is Techradar. The Indian version seems to be operated by the Times group and there seems to be no way to reach the international version. There is a link to Techradar.uk at the bottom in small print but clicking on it automatically gets me redirected back to ... yes... Techradar India.
Why cannot they effin allow us to visit the one we want?
