Censorship

So, I dropped an e-mail to boing-boing to see if anybody else had problems with Blogger in India and it seems that thing have in fact been blocked at the request of the government. As you can see, no reason is being given. It's worrying to see a country that is trying so hard to be a part of the developed nations suddenly restrict freedom of speech like this.

I suspect this has something to do with the bombings last week and tension is certainly mounting with Pakistan. Before heading to the G8 conference, the Indian prime minister condemned Pakistan for harbouring terrorists and this morning's Times of India carried an article on the front page quoting sources stating that the Pakistan secret service were behind the group responsible for the Delhi bombs.

I can post things but can't read any Blogger sites so I'll let you know what else happens.
