blog ban

i cant seem to access any blogs from my mtnl line. i can only post through blogger.com but cant read the post. mukul has the same problem from his hathaway line, kuntal from his computer at home and the college lines also dont allow access. nowhere in the city have i been able to get to any blogs on blogspot.com.
i have a feeling it has something to do with the bomb blasts- a form of censorship. the only other way to read blogs is through www.pkblogs.com which was a web site built by pakistani bloggers to access their sites when the pakistani government banned access to them.
can you guys read this? if so send me a comment. i want to know who else can read this.
i am seething.

yes Rohan thru a proxy server. Have a post on this subject.

I felt gagged. But the truth is we have more freedom in India than anywhere else in the world. More than the so called 'free world'. Here freedom is often misused than used. Indian bloggers are the victims of such misuse of freedom.
But the blogs which have been spreading hatred may be blocked, they will pull down the shutters and open their shop elsewhere. But a total ban doesn't make any sense.
