I get conflicting information from my coworkers in India about what kind of (grounded) power cords they use around the house, and I think it may boil down to whether or not you are in news construction versus old construction or maybe even what region you reside in.
Some say they use the BS 546, sometimes just referred to as "Type D": https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/d/
But this plug only supports up to 5A. So they may also use the larger version of the BS 546 that supports 15A, sometimes referred to as "Type M": https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/m/
This "Type M" is also used in South Africa, other parts of African and some parts of the Middle East.
The other plug I've seen used is the one used in the UK today, as well as some South Asia and Middle Eastern countries, and that's the BS 1363, or "Type G".
So my question to you all is, when you plug your gaming PC into the wall, assuming if you don't use an adapter to adapt one kind of plug type to another (if you do, please comment below) what kind of receptacle are you plugging into in the wall? Does your wall outlet have a BS 546 5A, BS 546 15A or a BS 1363 socket? Or does your building have a combination of outlets installed (again, not including using adapters)? The poll is multiple choice, so you can select more than one.
FYI: There's a good "history of the BS 546" article that I found here: http://www.audiopolitan.com/blog/indian-electrical-plug-where-did-it-originate/
