China Attacks Google, India Could Benefit

As an embattled Google moves to pull out of China in the wake of some aggressive cyber-attacks orchestrated against it by the Chinese govt, India may have the opportunity to benefit by showing itself as an alternative where information can be passed freely. (Unless of course someone on a Google-controlled website makes a comment against the Nehru-Gandhis, or Mayawati, or Mamta, or CPI-M, etc, in which case we'll be out-racing the Chinese to clamp a hand tightly over peoples' mouths.)

I recently got to experience some Indian-ishtyle censorship when the so-called "moderators" of the Bharat-Rakshak website banned me for caustically pointing out that Indira Gandhi's prime-ministership in no way makes India a shining example of gender equality. Some people will always showcase their 3rd-rate 3rd-world mentality, especially when they go scurrying to protect their 3rd world political masters/cronies. We can all see that sycophancy phenomenon rampant within the Indian media as it is.
