Bloggers can be nailed for views - Times of India 24 Feb 2009

This is simply outrageous. What has happened to the freedom of expression in India?

Why should one be forced to go to court to explain the conduct?

I am not against Shivsena, I am also against Valentine Celebrations in colleges. But that does not mean I should resort to violence, file against people expressing their views.

Why can't be the Country/Politicians/Institutions stand up and clarify their views. Why not fight ideology with ideology?

If Internet can be used to express unbiased views, so can the opponent use internet to clarify their view point, ideology.

This judgment is a contempt of the liberty of people in a democratic nation. Tomorrow I express my views against some institution for some poor service, poor product, vent my frustration they would come back after me with court cases and make my life hell.

Nice way to curb freedom eh. Something has to be done.
