Internet Curfew for College Students?
140Mandak262Jamuna writes "IIT Bombay, one of the top Indian engineering schools, is restricting internet access to its students. The restriction is simply to cut off all internet access at night from the dorms. The school claims the 24/7/365 internet access is hampering academic performance, personality development and extra curricular activities. Though these are the 'official' reasons, it appears there are other reasons too. Mr Prakash Gopalan, the Dean of Student Affairs, says, 'one only had to look at the hard drive of any of the students' computers to see that bad content dominated over good.'"
IIT Bombay thinks of the kittens.

Hinduism does not have a single uniform belief system but is a conglomerate of diverse beliefs and traditions. There is no central authority guiding the masses nor is there any central book or scripture guiding the belief. Instead hindus are encouraged to find their own way/path to God, even if that is different from everyone else's.
Therefore you will find all kinds of divergent belief systems in Hinduism - from the Kamasutra (which incidentally was written by a priest) to your set of voodoo priests that condemn "bad content". Hinduism does not state one as right and the other as wrong. Instead find your own path.
This in no way means that Hinduism is not being hijacked by the moral police who are quick to condemn "bad content" as "western influences".
More on topic, IIT is supposed to be a secular institute run by the government which is supposed to have nothing to do with Hinduism or any other religion.
