Hi all, I sincerely considers, this steps taken by government may someday take our nation and the technology (for which the government boasts about and which has played an important role in making our nation stand in international crowd) to jeopardy. I even suspect that government may ban my mail tomorrow for being antinational. Anyway, its our right to use our right of freedom to speech & knowledge. Keep it informed to each and every citizen of India.
