India is a democracy, I simply don’t believe the current blog censorship will stay in force for very long… but for now it hurts. I myself have Indian readers, and I also follow some blogs based in India, in our global world I’m sure most of my readers do so. Bloggers from all around the world are trying to help. Here are just two of several resources: India Censored, Bloggers Collective.
I’d like to do my little bit, in case the ways to circumvent to blockage don’t work for someone, I’m offering my fellow bloggers from India a temporary home for your thoughts; email me your articles and I’ll publish them on my blog, under your name. (My email is the domain name of this blog at gmail)

That’s good news, glad to read it. Nobody in their right mind believed the “full blockade” to be intentional, we knew it had to be lifted .. it’s just a matter of how soon. Let’s hope it’s really two days or sooner.
I think it is lifted by now. That’s what I hear from my friends in India. Although it may not be on all ISPs yet.
It is good to hear that the Department of Telecom in India is taking stern action http://www.rediff.com/news/2006/jul/20dot.htm
