    The latest attempt by the department of telecom to block access to 17 websites on grounds of national security has gone spectacularly wrong.
    First, it has ended up blocking not 17 but thousands of sites or weblogs (or blogs) hosted by popular hosting services like Google's Blogspot and Yahoo's Geocities. Second, the ban has been effected in a manner that can be skirted with ease. So anyone who wants to access them can still do so. Also, some bloggers in Delhi and Mumbai are now planning to invoke the Right to Information Act to clear some of the haze that the matter is behind right now.
    For their part, the government officials responsible for implementing the order are washing their hands off the brouhaha the action has caused.
    Dr Gulshan Rai, director of the Computer Emergency Response Team, the apex organisation under the IT Ministry responsible for the nation's cyber-security, told HT: "There's no attempt to block blogspot.com from our side. The order issued by the DoT has four blogs hosted on Blogspot.com. The order didn't ask the whole site to be banned."
    Then why isn't any Blogspot site opening on most computers? The answer lies in the way our internet service providers -- like Tata, Airtel, Sify and Reliance -- have implemented the order.
    "Indian ISPs don't have the technology to block individual name servers -- say a particular blog hosted on Blogspot. So they had no choice but to block the root servers of major blogging networks -- blogspot, geocities and typepad," said a senior official in the IT Ministry. A senior official from an ISP confirmed this.
    Sarbajit Roy, a cyber-law expert, said, "This block is a mindless exercise and shows that our bureaucrats don't understand technology at all."

    The only reason that Indain Govt. showing is that they want to stop communication between Terrorists. They can't block some certain blogs so entire blogspot is blocked. And site like geocities as well.

    Remeber story of Ramayana, where Hanuman Bring hole moutain when he cant pick a specific plant. :) :)

    I think Indian Govt should also put ban on telecommunication system to stop communication between Terrorists. ;) ;)

    Freedom of expression is important in the public sphere.

    This system is private property. On private property, the property rights of the owner take precedence over the rights which a visitor has to freedom of expression.

    The visitor is still able to use his freedom of expression -- elsewhere.

    Here is a way you can open a blog at blogger:

    If you want to see blog abc.blogspot.com type www.pkblogs.com/abc :)

    I don't how it works but works.

    The only reason that Indain Govt. showing is that they want to stop communication between Terrorists. They can't block some certain blogs so entire blogspot is blocked. And site like geocities as well.

    Remeber story of Ramayana, where Hanuman Bring hole moutain when he cant pick a specific plant.

    Khushal IMO, this wasn't very much needed was it?

    Then we speak and then people feel bad! This was the very reason the Blast thread was locked! So IMHO, let's keep this topic away from this thread :) Shall we!

    To access your blog you may try pkblogs.com
    Type on your browser's address bar - pkblogs.com/yourblogname

    Ex: If your blog is humshayarhai.blogspot.com THEN
    type pkblogs.com/humshayarhai - thats it.

    ENJOY your blog.

    Please forward this too as many friends you know .... because the knowledge will help us all ......

    regading the pkbogs we have already many times in this thread ;)
    Also i dont think our visitors who are referred from the search engines will go to pkblog or any other proxy site to check our site ;)
    so we directly lose all the traffic :)
    If Blogger gives a option that our blog is directly redirected to a new site we give, it will be a good option, what do you say?

    This is done mainly for the terrorist blogs displayed . Is this government trying to condemn the views of human beings . If so we are under the control of brutal hitlerism again. If this is temporary and for avoiding panic then it is welcome .....

    But a day gone means a huge proportion of 150 crores of web traffic gone. It will hurt many business policies . When India is fighting back using this web world, this is a big loss to us Indians. I hope this government will see to the demands of common people.
