Has Indian Government gone tech?

Since last two days, I havent been able to access blogs on blogspot.com. I am not a serious poster, though I follow a number of them. Initially I thought it to be because of the scheduled maintainence on Saturday. Yesterday it was confirmed when the blogger community spelled out their woes. This block has been erratic with some ISPs still allowing access. What surprises me, is that has Indian Government decided to follow its neighbours finally? If that is the case then it is seriously a communist attack. Ask why? The UPA government might be getting pressurisedby the comrade bandhus. Once done India will be completing the series of blogspot banners in the SE Asia. China, Pakistan and then India. See the connection. No?? CPI-Communist Party of India. I still wish this to be some temporary thing and not some despotic curb of freedom of expression. On the other side if it is concious effort, kudos to the government. Atleast it is aware of stuff like blogging and internet. Not that they are that dumb, just it feels funny when you are aware of incidents like taking a PC monitor as evidence by the police for showing sex videos. Whatever it is, "Where there is will, there is a highway" will rule...
