Anyone know how to apply for an Entry Visa to India?

All the embassy and consulate websites ask for an online application to be made at https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/ and then download the filled out application and print it, sign it and send it via post to the appropriate consulate serving your area with the relevant documents. The problem however is that the application page at https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/Registration has now been down for two weeks. I have reached out via all possible channels - Pravasi Mitra, Consulate Query submission on website, Twitter, FB and even called them up but no one seems to have any answers. All responses from online channels are sending a canned response back which describes the process that I have described above but no one seems to address my concern about the website not working and providing an alternative way to apply for the visa. And on the phone all I get is an automated menu and I have yet been unable to speak to a human after trying for 4+ hours across the last couple of days. All consulates in a thousand mile radius do not allow walk-ins for anything (including enquiries) and are only accepting visa applications online.

I had been relaxed all this while as I had a lot of time for my travel and thought that it might be a technical glitch that will be fixed soon but as I am not travelling in ten days I am getting tensed. Anyone have any idea on how to apply for the visa or any alternate channels using which I can contact the relevant consulate.

Any help or ideas will be appreciated.

(An Entry Visa is a separate category that allows for longer stays up to 5 years and is only available to people who can show a direct relationship with an Indian citizen. This is different from the Tourist Visa and any other category of Visa. Currently the Indian Govt. allows granting of Entry Visas to eligible applicants for deaths in the family and for medical reasons)
