India’s blog ban in New Communications Review

By Editor on Aug 6, 2006 in industry

Did the recent blocking of blogs in India pose a threat of sending out undesired messages across the globe? India, the largest democracy in the world, censors freedom of speech. What an irony.

Global bloggers were asking if India was still a democratically run nation? Can the government block thousands of websites without warning? Has India joined the website-censoring countries of China and Pakistan and the Middle East?

Apparently, the incident had Indian bloggers and the Indian media up in arms, with the global community wondering what happened to the good-old democratic India.

I have written my thoughts on this and New Communications Review has featured it in its latest issue. The write-up is titled India’s Blogging Imbroglio – Thoughts from a Communications Professional.
