It is clear that a lot of people in the government do not understand how the internet works, and what these sites do. (They probably do not understand that these sites contain user generated content)<p>[1] <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/12/31/indian-government-censorsht/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;12&#x2F;31&#x2F;indian-government-censorsht...</a>

Fortunately these blocks are just DNS blocks at the ISP level. I just pointed machine to use the google DNS service and everything works fine.
