#2A predictable result. I'm surprised though, that the Indian government (or any government for that matter) was able to react so fast.

They react fast only in such useless matters. For real problems like corruption, infrastructure, pollution and population they don't have any time.

Perhaps if they left it unblocked it wouldn't be raising so fast :)

#6You know it's fascinating how prudish a culture seems to be ties in to the levels and statistics of sexual abuse. In india words like sexual expression are a sin and a culture has emerged based on the obsession that sex is dirty. Which is centered around the glory of men and the purity of misogyny.
At the same time India by some statistics ( http://www.icrw.org/publications/international-men-and-gende... ) has the highests amounts of sexual abuse amongst it's peers like Brazil (which when compared to india is far more liberal and words like sex aren't dirty things that should be accompanied with rinsing your mouth to get rid of the impurity... ). It's just hard to believe that 25% of males surveyed have committed sexual violence compared to 2% in Brazil. This also jives with my observation that women aren't viewed as human beings over here by most people, but sex objects that are to be used for pleasure. It's just sick.
I wonder if there is more than just coincidence going on over here and if all of this feeds into one another...

#8I'd be surprised if there were actually going to be porn sites on xxx, since it can be blocked so easily. Probably it's going to more about underground culture.

#9Am not really surprised that this happens in India. On the contrary, I was expecting this to happen quite sometime before. Never underestimate the stupidity of Indian bureaucracy (inherited and modeled from the Soviets, rivals even Vogonic bureaucracy), particularly when it comes to technical matters involving software and computers.
On another note, http://toroid.org/ams/etc/dot-india-crypto-nonsense ; on how competent the policymakers are.

Agree with you!! With all my lack of respect - what a loads of b%&^$£s. I have been following all this fuss about .xxx and I think - all this people are driven by we-have-to-do-something-with-it approach. :)
