Dear all, It's not funny anymore. Gaurav Sabnis has had to resign from his job as a result, and through pro-IIPM comment spam on blogs, anonymous people have been posting all sorts of filthy, malicious stuff about Rashmi Bansal (JAM editor and blogger), Gaurav Sabnis and others supporting the issue. The blogosphere has come together to support Gaurav and Rashmi. It turns out that JAM too had been served a legal notice, which is fine, but e-stalking and sexually charged abuses and spreading lies about people's academic and personal lives - all this is not done.
All those of you who believe hat censorship is not a done thing, must do something more than just believing. Follow the issue with continuous updates here: http://www.desipundit.com/2005/10/08/lies-damned-lies-and-fake-blogs/ Please urge your journo friends to give the issue press coverage, which is very difficult considering that IIPM gives full page ads in the papers and its owner, Arindam Chaudhuri, is regularly invited as a panelist on news channels. In whatever way you can, SPEAK on this.
