MINET
History: May 11, 1998! The world woke up to the news of India's three nuclear tests at the Pokhran test range code named "Shakti". These nuclear tests resulted in a variety of sanctions against India by a number of major states. The internet world suddenly buzzed with comments criticizing India. However most of the message boards and websites were unanimous in their opinion.. India Should not have done this!! India tested 2 more devises on 18 May 1998. The internet world erupted against India! As a response, a one page website was put up on a free hosting site on 20 May 1998, listing the reasons why India have the right to do these tests. (The one page archive is cherished here) That page helped many young Indians to take a stand against those who argued against India. in 2000, the "My-India.Net" domain was formally registered to host this single page website which was by then popular. Over time, the site slowly evolved as a comprehensive Indian web portal, covering Indian news, movies, forums and directory etc., offering a comprehensive network of essential services for Indian web users around the globe. My-India.Net now called as "MINET" in short, now consist of a cluster of regional Indian web communities and offers a comprehensive set of online portals representing various regional communities of India, with well over 100,000 web pages under its fold.
