Secretary / dEITy / Govt. of IndiaRef: Complaint ticket no. 00061262 at .IN Registry (pending since 26.March. 2014).
I am given to understand that you are the Chairman of the NIXI (National Internet eXchange of India)
Accordingly, I am caused to apply to you to take prompt action to immediately suspend the following 2 .IN domains which are distributing highly obscene and pornographic content.in all the different Indic languages sourced from the Registrant's overseas pornographic servers.
After prolonged efforts to get in touch with the "Grievance Officer" (please see the Information Technology Intermediary Guideline Rules 2011) of these websites through the Registrant(s) and the Registrars of these domains, I was informed by one of the Registrants Ms. Michelle Paulson Legal Counsel Wikimedia Foundation (through email) that being a US registered entity with servers located in USA the Registrant - Wikimedia Foundation - is not required to comply with India law for their .IN domain name(s) to appoint a Grievance Officer to address my grievances with their websites.
I thereafter promptly filed a complaint with the .IN Registry on 26.March 2014 under the .IN Registry's "anti-abuse" policy for .IN domains. I had sent a few examples of the pornography along with my grievances.
I am sorry to say that these websites / domains still continue to function and I am not being given any updates on my complaint, and I thereby have reason to believe that officers in NIXI have been bribed not to take action on my complaint.
I am enclosing an additional obscene graphic (fairly mild in comparison to what else is available for download) accessed by me today from this website/domain, and request that you personally inquire and take swift action into the sorry state of affairs into this private company NIXI which has been floated by the Internet Service Providers of India (who have a direct commercial conflict of interest in the matter to shut down such pornographic websites/domains) who seem to be managing the .IN Registry in a highly irregular, corrupt and anti-citizen manner which is opposed to public policy.

Sir
Sub : Distress to ladies caused by pornographic .IN websites
I am sorry that I have to approach directly to get this small matter resolved.
I am the National Convenor since 2007 of "India Against Corruption", and incidentally have lived half my life in Mumbai South LS Constituency where I still have a large network of "friends".
Some elderly educated Christan / Zorastrian ladies of Mumbai had complained to me that the Wikipedia's .IN websites were being used to distribute highly obscene pornography,and requested me to get these .IN sites closed down.
My India Against Corruption had of course organised the street protests in Delhi after the Delhi gang rape, and safety and security of women in urban metros is a high priority for IAC so we agreed.
I represented to the .IN Registry which is managed by NIXI to get the following 2 websites /domain names suspended
a) "wikimedia.in"
b) "wikipedia.in"
For some strange reason NIXI (CEO Dr. Govind) is not taking prompt action and is allowing the matter to linger.
Since the common traditionally minded citizens nowadays expect strong, prompt and firm action, which should be very well publicised, I am attaching some PDF files (a very small sample from the oceans of smut) which will show prima-facie that these 2 domain names need to suspended immediately by NIXI / UPA-II in the larger public interest so that our youth especially the young girls can go safely in the streets.
With best wishes,
Yours faithfully
