India’s cyberspace censorship

India’s cyber censorship is making International headlines now.The Government of India through DoT (Department of Telecommunications) have notified 150 ISPS (Internet Service providers), to block few websites in wake of the Mumbai Serial blasts.

The notification lists five parameters that can allow blocking of websites, which include threats to sovereignty, security of the country, friendly relations with another nation, public order or to prevent a cognizable offense.

The blacklist includes:

• pajamaeditor.blogspot.com

• exposingtheleft.blogspot.com

• princesskimberly.blogspot.com

• commonfolkcommonsense.blogspot

• mypetjava.mu.nu

• thepirateco.us

• hinduhumanrights.com/hindufocus.html

• rahulyadav.com

• dalitstan.com

• macker-old.com

• merrimusings.typepad.com

The parameters looks fine but I don’t have any idea of why they are blocking exposingtheleft.blogspot.com, this blog just exposes the Communist’s double standards on all issues and as all we knew the entire media is dominated by leftists in India, take every newspapers and channels, they are owned by the leftists in India, and now they have 60 MP’s (funny thing is all 60 MP’s from 2 states, Kerala and West Bengal where they are limited to) who decide the fate of the Congress Govt in India. So no wonder they included this blog into the list.
Any computer savvy person may knew to get around this ban by changing the DNS in the TCP/IP settings to point to some foreign DNS. I guess many might be already doing it. Now don’t ask me to teach how to do it. 

Command line for the web

I like command lines, its because of the unix and Novell effect we have from our Engineering curriculum, well this site helps you set up your own command line for the web and I will tell you it’s really cool.
Go to http://yubnub.org/ and type Jag in the command line, you will get to my blog here, doesn’t it make it simple.

India’s wounded pride

Terrible week for India, back to back disaster with Agni III and INSAT 4C followed up with serial blasts in Mumbai and Srinagar. Am sure India will arise back from the wounded pride with Agni III and INSAT 4C within few months. But wat could be the answers for People who unnecessarily died with this barbaric serial blasts in Mumbai and Srinagar. People who are responsible for it should be brought to justice, unlike the 1991 serial blasts where the responsible criminal hided out in Pakistan and still living, this time we should nab the responsible and get them to justice. If they escape it to neighboring countries, assign the job to Intelligence Agency RAW, hunt them down and finish them off once and forever.
God Bless India!!!
