Full List of URLs blocked by Indian Govt.

Hi guys,

After a long struggle i found out the list of URLs blocked by Indian Govt. Here it goes,




1. www.hinduunity.org
2. http://myperjawa.mu.nu
3. http://pajamaeditors.blogspot.com

Why all these sites are blocked?
From my observation of most of the web-sites contains religious related information.

Whether govt. instructed to block blog sites?

No. Absolutely not. If u look at it carefully Indin govt. had not instructed to block Blogspot or Typepad or any whole blog sites. They have instructed to block only 4 blogs. I guess ISP providers gone crazy enough to block whole Blogspot and Typepad, that is a ridiculous move by these guys.

There is a report from financialexpress says "...Over 25% of India’s 38 million internet users are active bloggers...". I've to blame ISP providers for this one. In order to block 4 blogs these guys had blocked the close to 10 million blogs. What crazy it is?

As a blogger i feel this is violating Internet Privacy rules.

More than that to block one typepad, they have blocked the whole typepad... ROTFL. Keep visiting this site. More updates to come.

/Update: Unconfirmed report tells me http://www.Clickatall.com also blocked in India. i can't find any reason for this site to be blocked either.

/Update on 21/07/2006 : Ban lifted after a big protest from all the bloggers in India. Maybe soon all ISPs will remove the blacklist.
