the real problem which plague's India is over zealous "babu's" aka bureaucrats. It is very difficult to do actual good things with regards to policy so they settle for the most hype thing "ban X" and label it as patriotism and feed the narrative to the media machine which takes and runs with it . Now the government gets to pat itself on the back and the "babu" gains notoriety as a patriot its a very "notice me senpai" thing. They will continue to do this cause they are looked up to by everyone in the country as a educated elite . In reality they are a bunch of cockroaches who collectively share 3 brain cells to make what i like to call "dad joke style policy". If every there is a gaping flaw in modern democracies it is the unaccountable and ever powerful bureaucrat.
