Rise of a new police state in India  

BBC NEWS | Technology | Bombay plans cyber cafe controls:

"Internet cafe owners in India's commercial and entertainment capital, Bombay, are angry at plans to regulate the city's cyber centres.
They object to plans which would force them to keep records of people using their internet facilities.
The proposals will be put to the state legislature next month.
Police say they need new powers to prevent the misuse of the web by what they call terrorists, hackers, paedophiles and users of adult sites. "
