That seems to be us, and all other typepad blogs, according to this story.  The fear is that terrorists are using blogs to communicate secret messages.  If you are in India, and reading this, please let us know in the comments…Thanks to Rajeev for the pointer…

You’re safe, since your domain is marginalrevolution.com, and as far as I can tell, domain filtering is the only thing they’re doing.

All your Blog are belong to us – Govt of India

I can’t read Marginal Revolution, Cafe Hayek and India Uncut.
All typepad, blogspot domains have been blocked.
Shit! this sucks, I have to find a public proxy every day.
The govt has increased the cost of reaching blogs.
