Mine is not a legal expert's opinion here, but for all intents
and purposes, my understanding is that Indian laws or other foreign
country laws have no jurisdiction over discussions emanating from
an US based web-site.
That is not to suggest that someone in Indian territory would be
immune from Indian laws for expressing something might be
considered illegal in India.
BTW, there have been a lot of discussions in India about the
ridiculous extent to which Indian courts have exercised its
dictatorial "contempt of court" rules to stifle criticism
and/or discussion of issues the courts don't like to see or
hear.

Are not internet websites operating internationally? Have not the US courts or any other courts in the world for that matter made any pronouncement on the subject? It may be that an individual country has to file proceedings in its national court but I would think the liability cannot be avoided so easily. However, if there is no such finding, I stand corrected.It is however a fact that a book banned in one country may be freely available in another country. Can that be said of discussions in the internet which is accesssible to all and sundry?
The question has other complications. But I stop here.
