Internet censorship in India is selectively practiced by both federal and state governments. While there is no sustained government policy or strategy to block access to Internet content on a large scale, measures for removing content that is obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that endangers public order or national security have become more common in recent years. However, any websites blocked either by the government or Internet service providers can easily be accessed through proxy servers (see Internet censorship circumvention).
