India is still censoring this website. Apparently, India considers making fun of terrorists and their Islamist supporters more dangerous than the terrorists themselves. I’m #6 (but I’ll try harder) on India’s list of 17 websites that are being censored.
- Hindu Unity
- the Jawa Report
- Editors in Pajamas
- Exposing the Left, (aka, OpiniPundit–called ‘dangerous’ in Indian press)
- The Pirate’s Cove
- Common Folk Using Common Sense (old website banned, now defunct/deleted and snatched up by someone else, current website active)
- MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
- Princess Kimberly (now defunct)
- Merri Musings (Indian government banned her old website, now abandoned – also, the lovely bride of The Jawa Report’s Editor-in-Chief, Vinnie)
- Macker
- Dalitstan a website of painters/sculptors
- hinduhumanrights.org/hindufocus.html, 404 Not Found
- http://nndh.com Server not found (scan scan unclear, could be wrong)
- http://bloodroyaltriped.com, does not exist
- http://imagesearch.yahoo.com, Server not found
- http://imamali8.com website does not exist
- Rahul Yadav

Read “Bypassing The Ban in India“, a wiki from “Bloggers Against Censorship” set up to collate information about and influence opinion against the Indian Government’s apparent notice to various ISPs to block various websites. This effort is aimed at nothing less than ensuring the Government will never again do something like this. There should be no site or group of sites that they will ever again be able to block; in fact, there should be no book they will ban, no infringement on freedoms at all ever again.
I appreciate all of the support that I have been getting. This would not hurt if it were Pakistan or Saudi Arabia banning me. I have been a longtime supporter of India and will continue to support India in spite of this slap in my face by her government. |

No Common Folk Using Common Sense In India
India is still censoring this website. Apparently, India considers making fun of terrorists and their Islamist supporters more dangerous than the terrorists themselves. India thus falls into Dhimmitude.
