"Now, imagine you found out something valuable ,some scandal ,fraud,
and you want to let the world know. Web becomes your best platform,may
be you blog about it. But before the world gets to hear about it, it
was lost!!Your post had been removed.The suppression is almost real.
This day is not far once the new IT rules are passed in the parliament"

"A mass of young ,energetic and vibrant youth , software engineers and
bloggers voiced their opinion . Being among them I felt the power of
connectivity, an air of pride, of struggle for freedom."

" I was losing my weakness of feeling self-conscious in the middle of
strangers and I was enjoying it. The candles in the end added
solemnity and as I walked back home, under the eagles flying so high,
I promised myself that I would protest again, perhaps with more
conviction. That it would mean more, much more the next time. "

IT hub sets the tone for internet freedom movement

It's a regular day at the Parappana Agrahara prison in Bangalore. The
media has arrived to interview high profile criminals held there.
Among politicians accused of land grabbing and corruption, and
industrialists, is a young boy. When asked what he had done to land up
there, he says: “I blogged.” The media and other “high-profile”
criminals scoff at him for not being “criminal enough”.
