Buy an adapter that allows you to plug in grounded appliances, such as your laptop and so many other electrical components these days. I am trying to use this one with a grounded U.S.A. adapter, and the link is a poor one, keeps breaking. The price for shipping (more than for the adapter itself) is a rip-off. Pay more for an honestly-priced adapter that allows you to plug in your grounded appliances.

My memory of plug in India was somewhat off. This plug is found occasionally, usually with high current plugs for heating appliances, but not as commonly as I remembered. And when they appear they usually have a kind of double-plug arrangement for a more standard European plus as well (at least in India; I don't know about the other places)

And finally, it is disappointing that the ground pin is plastic, and it does not accept a grounded US plug. So altogether, this was useless to me, although I guess it might fit the bill for some needs.

I purchased this for my boss, who said it did not work in Bangalore or New Delhi.

South Africa and India use plugs that look similar but are NOT compatible. The prong size and spacing are different!
