Are we heading towards another Emergency?’<\/a><\/strong> while i have serious issues with the Government’s ham-handed response in blocking blogs – responses like this are truly overkill ! As someone who works in the media, I understand that links have to be clicked and papers have to be sold and channels have to be viewed – this headline seems to be as thought through as the Government action! As far as the proposed broadcasting bill is concerned – do we all honestly think that the business men who bank roll political parties and own channels – will let it come any where near passing. My own gut feel is that the content issue and the ownership issue have been mangled together in the proposed bill to ensure that it never gets passed. But, then that is only my point of view. To understand exactly how ham-handed the Government is, and how technically inept the ISP’s are read Govind Ethiraj’s excellent piece here <\/strong><\/a>– (ahem ! you might have to use bloglines or some sort of IP masker – the blog is hosted on blogspot).
