This blog has been censored

As of today, I am unable to see my own blog, which seems to be because my government has decided to goahead and block all Blogger (and maybe Typepad) blogs in India. No reason has been given for this move, and this has happened suddenly, without warning or any announcement.

ThisWiki is a good place to start if you want to read about, or join in the protest against this odious censorship.

Update (20/7/2006): The block has been lifted. Blogger blogs are accessible in India once more.

India, fuck yeah!
