So true! A lot of folks in India shifted to FB from Orkut because it was private by deault compared to other networks at the time. They destroyed that base assumption in two years.

Decline happened when FB started suppressing messages from apps on the feed and started prioritising news links and later images and videos. It also coincided with decline of flash, so a lot of apps like Farmville were re-built in HTML5 or

Spam SMS are a thing here,even if your number is added to a govt DND database. As far as spam calls go, fintech companies have call centres frequently calling everyone asking if they need a loan. The telecom authority here has been fighting

India is derived from the river Indus. As in the land around and beyond the Indus. Hindus came later as a way to describe the people and religion of the people in the region. Now it refers to the religion alone and not the people.
