i grew up with chambers 20th century dictionary. Not that I looked into it often, if ever at all.
But I cannot say the same thing about Wikipedia, which I probably refer atleast half a dozen times a day, if not more.
I have not been following the reasons behind wiki’s voluntary shut down today. All I know is that it is a sign of protest against some intended censorship in the usa. Knowing that land, I cannot imagine any censorship law that would affect the style of any information output. But there may be some hidden clauses that I was not aware of.
Now if this were only in india – say for example, in light of kapil sibal’s vows to censor facebook, and as a retaliatory measure, facebook decides to shut down for a day, nobody would be more happy than kapil, who would probably encourage that facebook show a strong sign of disapproval, and shut itself out of india for a week. Or for that matter permanently. No?
