This has been a long overdue project of mine. I was making note of Indian websites that were unique in terms of their content, design, theme, the service they provide or the audience they reach out to. I present the 5 best of them that I felt deserved a round of applause for the freshness they inject in to the Indian presence on the Information Superhighway.
1. Good News India - www.goodnewsindia.com

News samples from the site :
- Bio diesel goes from lab to land
- A magic wand to zap plastics
- India to prepay World and Asian Dev Banks
- The Ganga in the sky - Rain water harvesting in Tamil Nadu
- Digging deep into Sanskrit - Uncovering the language's secrets
2. Indian Bloggers - www.indianbloggers.com

3. Indian President's Website - http://presidentofindia.nic.in/

An absolutely stunning site in terms of the look, the elegance and even the content. Upholds the dignity of the office of the Indian President. Contains a complete section devoted to the current president, his interests, his writings, his poetry, etc. A section too on the Rastrapati Bhavan, the grand home of the Indian President, the rich floral gardens surrounding the building, a panoramic view of the Bhavan, etc. A portion of the website also speaks of the Vision 2020 that the current president A P J Abdul Kalam envisions for India. A site that would definitely bring out the patriotism in you.
4. Mysore Palace - www.mysorepalace.org

5. Kosmix - www.kosmix.com
