"Our IT Act, often in conjunction with our blasphemy and defamation laws, has repeatedly been used to silence citizens who dared to voice their opinions on the Internet. Let us please not be blind consumers of "curated" news tweets. Let us also fight for a right to create content, without being censored, on the Free Web." - Indeed. The media, SV, India and the states are backing Modi's campaign as you've said. I was surprised reading the article below (although not super surprised given the Indian-SV relationship being so strong at the moment) that these more concerning points you touch on haven't been highlighted. Whilst from a technology perspective, this is no doubt a triumph for modi and his team, the true benefit for Indians in India will only be seen when laws are reformed to mirror the freedom the campaign stresses comes out of technology. This is a start, more needs to be done. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-34376984
