Ask those cyber-cafe owners who's cafes were destroyed because they were showing orkut. Or the recent case of all blog sites being blocked because the government ordered them. Or Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute being vandalized since they shared manuscripts and historical documents for the book "Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India".
There are few in this country who use their freedom. Most of those who do, use it to curtail other people's freedoms (censorship on internet, TV, books, etc.).
