Indian Blogspot Blog Blockade Lifted

Indian government had ordered blocking of some blogspot.com blogs and few other sites which are supposedly derogatory to Islam, including Hindu human rights site (makes you wonder if we live in Islamic country, doesn’t it?). Our ISP’s decided to block all blogspot domains including millions of totally unrelated blog sites like my old java technology blog.

Today I found I could access my blogspot blog sites again. So apparently, or at least BSNL - my broadband provider, has decided to lift the general blockade. Specific sites are still blocked. Knowing the real reason (and that it has no bearing on national security), I question the justification of blocking any of the sites.
