New Delhi Times - Gaurav Bhatnagar reporting from New Delhi, India

I have been trying to access Yahoo groups since yesterday. First I thought that the site was down but then I remembered that last year the govt. had blocked access to Yahoo groups since there existed some anti-India groups. (search on Google)It seems like the site is still blocked. This sort of censorship is against the very spirit of the internet and serves no purpose. There is hardly any censorship in the Indian media. Then why try to censor anything on the internet? In general, I feel there is complete freedom of speech in India (in fact too much freedom IMHO) so its surprising that the govt. chose to take this step.

UPDATE: yahoo groups is accessible now, so maybe it was a false alarm!
