Multimillionaires here can say the same anytime they want.
No they can't e.g.even ambani won't dare say anything against Didi in Bengal.

Now pubg has been banned in Nepal citing addiction and violence lol
Can anyone put a ban on the production of Tobacco or Alcoholic Beverages which have proven social and health hazards ?
Kids are under 16 has done far more hideous crimes who were not into gaming
Because of religion many many inhumane things happened throughout the course of history - anyone up for banning it ?
People tend to show their power over the weak but are just too lazy to go against the more bigger ( red harmful ) things.
Banning a game on school may be okay but say if someone is playing cricket or football all the time it's sure as hell they won't be a NASA scientist - so in a way that's is an addiction which nobody cares about. Which we don't understand we just label it as evil.\
Same goes for IPL or any other game - where there are bets placed over who will win or who loses or about some score but no one even would dare to ban it or our those sub par bollywood movies or TV serials.

These are also taxed heavily, so govt. won't want to ban one of their major sources of income.
As much as I agree, this won't happen until people start thinking more rationally. As long as there are conservative people, religion is here to stay. So, it's more of an exercise in getting rid of conservativism in favour of liberalism.

Taxing these things is actually helping in evading taxes only. The mrp of some xyz brand is say 450 rs. It is including taxes, what % please google. Now say I have to buy it for a digit get together, I would never ask for the bill. Moreover the shopkeepers always black them and or sell at a higher rate again citing different reasons. So, taxing them is not good.
P.S. Just purchased some medicines, Gst charged was 18%. Was there any need to tax medicines, but hey modi sarkaaaaar.
You are lucky to be in India,in US you would have been paying 10 times the price for similar medicines.There govt does not tax medicines but medicine manufacturers themselves priced them too high.This is also why many US major pharmaceutical companies opposes cheap generic drugs of India being sold in countries of Africa etc giving reason of patent violation.

Can you please provide a source of that info because as per my friends living there, medicines are very cheap. FDA keeps an eye on quality and pricing.
Maybe for normal medicines(kind of like those cold cough tablets etc) but anything serious & price will skyrocket.
Choking access to drugs
Here's why many prescription drugs in the US cost so much—and it's not innovation or improvement
Why the US has higher drug prices than other countries

tiktok ban is kind of justified,there were reports of inappropriate children videos on this app in newspapers a while back & they seemed to do nothing about it.

Do you know the margin in pharmaceutical, surgical etc line in India? A simple calcium tablet is being sold for a margin of atleast over 200% and then there is gst. Do you know the price of stunts and the amount charged by hospitals? Sure they are private one's but where are the regulator's here?
Comparing this scenario to US, fine some medicines are charged at a higher price but the cost of healthcare is less and I am sure that you would agree that they are better equipped with hospitals, doctors. Now coming to comparing India and US, I am sure if we compare both the countries on more basis Uncle Sam is far ahead. But I love my India at the end of the day
Let's stick to PUBG guys and have some chicken dinner

Industry protests at new drug and devices price controls in India
India's Hospitals Are Filling Up With Desperate Americans
What you say is true only for those who have full medical insurance benefit but getting that in USA is something like getting admission into IIM here.In fact Obamacare since its launch has been one of the biggest issue between democrats & republicans exactly because it allows even previously ineligible people to get health insurance at the cost of increased premium for the rest.
Here's how much the average American spends on health care
US health care: Spending a lot, getting the least
Just because majority of Indians are poor & can't afford good private hospitals doesn't mean Indian pvt hospital system is not good.Check the premium of US medical policies compared to Indian ones,if you have a decent salary & get a good health insurance policy then you are much better off than an average american citizen.

To each its own, the people whom I know who live there say otherwise. This is going offtopic.
Like I said it depends on person.Probably the people you know there are high income group(usually most Indian professionals there are) having complete medical insurance etc.
