Yes. This is where we had so many great ideas come from! We had Brexit. We had protectionism. We had Nehru’s close mindedness on foreign Investment. Finally we get rid of the shadows of the 90s, when India opened its market and ended up being a dynamo of foreign investment. —— Joke’s aside, the really absurdity is that this is happening under Modi’s regime.

If not in parliament, then amongst their supporters - many of whom are modern business men. This is weird. Something else has to be afoot. I can’t square it otherwise. ——- Edit: Nope: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/how-to/why-govt-banned-imports-of-laptops-computers-how-will-it-help-india-here-are-all-the-answers/articleshow/102417277.cms?from=mdr https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/how-to/why-govt-ba...
