A democracy isn’t what protects human rights, as can be seen in multiple countries like India and Brazil. Without adequate laws and proper enforcement the form of government doesn’t necessarily translate into human rights.

This is definitely just a political ploy and not the Indian government being concerned with the privacy of its citizens.
None of the apps they are banning are from Indian companies. Are they saying that there are no apps from India companies that harvest data as some of the apps that they purportedly say harvest data of their citizens?
Why not ban the app that is the most flagrant violator of them all, Facebook? Is it because Modi and Trump are buddy buddy, so that one could slide?
Just call it what it is.

Things between India and China are tense. Modi's government will likely ban a lot of Chinese apps.
Yeah, I hope they can sort it out somehow, but things does not look very bright at the moment.
Democracy in India is on the brink
Narendra Modi wants to replace the secular state with a ‘Hindu nation’
Weathervane of democracy
The Election Commission’s weakening commitment to the Model Code of Conduct is cause for concern
Please post some balanced views instead of far leftist drivel.Yeah, I hope they can sort it out somehow, but things does not look very bright at the moment.

Damn straight - why Apple even built their spaceship headquarters in a country with shady behaviors, ethical and human rights issues. When are they going to fix that?
How quick you forget. Go watch the old WWDC and hear it straight from Steve Jobs.
You insulted my wife, she's the Queen of Thailand! This means war!
Fine, see you at the App Store at noon. Bring your lawyers.
Like Trump administration ?
Hint: tiktok, Huawei, BLM, quinine, guess I don't need to add more in the list.
As soon as Putin gives him the word...
Agree. I also think that China is the new Cold War Russia in the US and anything China is instantly dismissed as bad, for nothing more than chalk marks on the board in the lead up to the election.
Australia and New Zealand are in Oceania, India is part of Asia. So which is it?
Yes, Trump sucks too. So does Bodi. Nationalism has no borders ironically.
I couldn’t get to see the FT site as it requires subscription. India has to be a Hindu nation with vast majority are Hindus. Muslims wanted separate nation (historically there was no Muslim nation just as there was no Hindu nation per se) and got TWO (Pakistan & Bangladesh).Yeah, I hope they can sort it out somehow, but things does not look very bright at the moment.

India will not be a Hindu nation but will definitely be Hindutva nation (Cultural nationalism including all religions without reporting authorities outside of India to manipulate them with money etc...).
There is absolutely nothing wrong in it!
A clan-and-caste-based society is not a free and democratic society. It sounds a lot like a toxic and backward tribe.

We have first nation issues. You know the schools, etc.
Exactly my thought. A democratic society does not mix civil activities with political agendas. Depriving lawfully operating companies of proper legal rights with executive orders and government mandates are the exact behaviour of a dictatorial government.
They can't really afford to. The Chinese are running the Indian economy online and offline. They serve as the technological and financial backbone.
Indian GDP so far this year is around negative 25%, worst in the world.
Agreed with the sentiment on the privacy matter. Here on macrumors someone introduced the phrase: “saying that losing privacy is ok because I got nothing to hide is similar to saying that losing free speech is ok because I got nothing to say”.
Nevertheless, in this case, I don’t know much about an actual underlying agenda... India has run things like demolition of houses, genital sterilization campaigns for poor men and other politically driven decisions for perceived Estate threats and emergencies.
Certainly following West doesn’t make one forward or non toxic either! True democracy and freedom must have choices that need not make me like your community or society etc...India is far superior in that! They even allowed an Italian lady ex-bartender to be the permanent chief of the main opposition party! You can’t be more forward (rather stupid as well) than Indians to prove the west that they are truly democratic and free society 🤣🤣🤣
