Letter to Indian embassy

Hi,
I'm writing to express my disappointment regarding the Indian government's decision to ban web sites that are critical of Islam. I thought that India was on its way to joining the civilized world, where free speech is a fundamental right. The desicion to ban weblogs tells me that the Indian government thinks that Indian citizens are too stupid to have access to information. If the Indian government doesn't respect its citizens, who will respect the Indian government?
Furthermore, this ban will encourage Islamic thugs in India and around the world. It will encourage them to dictate to people what they can say and what they can read. This desicion is a disgrace for India, and a big step back. Back to barbarism and ignorance, away from civilization and freedom.
