Youtube, the most popular video sharing site could be banned in India due to a offensive video of Mahatma Gandhi.
The video made by a Hawaii-based Non-Resident Indian, has shown Gandhi doing a pole dance, stripping, playing with daggers and dining with two beautiful women.
The author of the video, Gautham Prasad, has now apologized to the people offended by the video. A couple of Indian TV channels that showed the video have been asked to apologize .
I&B ministry is understood to have taken up the matter with the IT ministry for ‘action’ against YouTube. Some I&B ministry sources said that YouTube would be blocked, some others said that YouTube would be asked to take off the offending video.

This story is on the main page of digg that a boy from Kerala claimed that he invented a way to store 256 GB on a sheet of A4 paper.

These types of scams happen regularly in India, I remember a village boy from Uttar Pradesh claimed that he won an international examination organised by Nasa and the news went up to BBC, the news later turned out to be a scam.
Also someone developed gasolene from leaves and a guy claimed he got alien cells from rain.
