    The country was correctly identified as India but the location based service (or something like that) remained USA. Is it a deliberate thing or a bug? If it isn't a bug then what is the purpose of that service and why would an Indian want USA related stuff?

      your profile page has you listed as the president of India. Is this true?

          Your timezone was probably preset correctly (we ask your browser "what time is it?" and go from there) but your country was set using an IP-to-location lookup, which are never 100% accurate. Feel free to correct our geographically challenged system.

              I've heard of people stuffing their resumes, but this one gets the cake! :-D
