I was searching for alternate DNS servers for my mtnl connection. Here is a list of the servers that I found.
203.94.243.70
59.179.243.70
59.185.0.50
203.94.227.70
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.1
208.67.222.222
4.2.2.5
202.159.217.198
69.90.236.105
203.84.243.70
Before setting any of these as your dns server, ping them first to know if they are working or not and if the response time is good enough (the lesser the better).
