doh, travis is not opening for me on chrome or edge but it is opening on firefox! looks like BSNL is doing some DNS sneaky stuff now. maybe they are hijacking DNS (transparent proxy or whatever)?

Travis CI website now opening fine for me on chrome and edge also. Must have been a temporary glitch on BSNL FTTH network. I hope they are not messing around with DNS hijacking.

Traceroute uses ICMP though (atleast on Windows) while http/https runs on TCP/UDP. I think traceroute not working and http sites not working are separate issues. I think traceroute is not working because bcci and cricmetric both uses AWS and AWS seems to be blocking ICMP, thats why you can't ping or traceroute it.

I can't traceroute it either:

cricmetric also uses aws which is why you aren't able to traceroute or ping it, they are blocking ICMP. The site itself is loading fine for me.

http not working is a separate issue, likely BSNL is attempting to hijack the traffic, https works because its encrypted

example.com has an https page and they don't block ping. So please try doing a traceroute to the same. Here are my results:
