I am writing this since this list is read by many
folks outside India who
might think "Internet ban" at varying levels and put to some facts for
people to make some more sense on the banning. Its mostly on 2-3 ISPs in
India, so calling "Internet ban" is slightly exaggerating IMHO.
This is not the first time in Indian ISP's history. Good to know this
recent blockage though being "foreigner". Watch my
interview<http://gyaanyatra.affp.org.uk/news/story/whats-behind-indias-cyber-censorship>[1]
that was recently given to one of the NGOs here in UK, where I had
discussed similar things. I had done a follow up pannel discussion on the
wider issue of press and media censorship in India. Which was well debated.
