And in many cases it is not a lack of money. After all, they are paying some company to bulid these websites... These guys are just not giving the job to the right people. And yes, many of them are clueless about Web Standards. Another reason for this might be that until recently (perhaps a couple of years back), the Internet did not really reach that many people in India, for these Government Organisation to take their websites seriously. Let alone government websites... even some of the private companies have websites with flash-based navigation and javascript-based pop-up menus. And needless to say, these sites would look much more ugly in Firefox. This is a problem in India as well.
