India: Blogs Blocked

Tuesday, July 18, 2006



Every Indian blogger has been harping about it since Monday that their ISPs have blocked all the blogspot, typepad and geocities blogs and how frustrated they are. This is true. As a result of a directive from the Indian Government to block a few sites, the ISPs have extended to blocking the entire domain or atleast it seems that way. A lot of discussion, protest has been voiced against this on TV channels like CNN IBN and an armchair analysis from every TDH on how democratic India is. I believe this would have something to do with the investigations of you know what so lets wait..until there are always aggregators such as Goggle Reader or proxy avoidance sites to get past this.
