FYI: OpenDNS is great even if your living in a free country.
*DNS Servers*
Primary Nameserver: *208.67.222.222*
Secondary Nameserver: *208.67.220.220*
Everyone knows time and again the Indian Department of Telecommunication, DOT as we have all know sends a lists of URLs to be banned. Recently they had sent a list of URLs which contained a number of blogspot and geocities websites. This angered a number of bloggers.
Most ISP ban a website by playing around with the DNS entries, example when you try to go to banme.blogspot.com it translates to something like 72.14.219.191. The ISP generally changes this to point to something like 127.0.0.1, also know as home. Due to this you cannot access the website and all hell breaks lose.
The simplest solution is to just change your DNS provider, by default it is your ISP. I strongly suggest using something like "OpenDNS":http://www.opendns.com. Its fast and its the best free dns service I have used.
The Pakastani ISP's are a bit smarter, they block only IPs.
