Being a large and diverse country it is natural that every piece of content on the web will displease a few thousand people. If all these content have to be taken down there will be no need for any search engine - there will be no content except for bland govt sites! I think the govt (in fact the whole 'establishment') wants to undermine the power of the internet to prevent Anna Hazare, Arab Spring kind of movements before it starts shaking the foundations of their (the establishment's) charmed existence. regds, mano _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
