Blogs banned in India

I have previously complained that China has banned Blogspot, and now India is doing the same. Geocities and Typepad, as well as other Indian blog sites are also banned, presumably to stop religious fanatics. The Indian government, however, has yet to issue an official statement on the subject, according to Boing Boing.

Religious fanatics have been around for thousands of years, so I don't see how this will have any effect at all.
