They're already charging around 45% duty and now it will be even more. The coming generations are ****ed. In about 10 years only the very rich can afford computers and the rest will be like "whats a computer? Can you eat it?"

And if you're holding hopes of companies setting up laptop manufacturing hubs here, don't. There's no water, no reliable and cheap 24 hrs electricity, shipping costs a lot by road, no non agriculture land , bad highways and roads, bad govt, high taxes. Only completely retarded companies will try and fail miserably.

Back in school they taught us that India is a "developing country". I used to think it'd be developed before I hit 30, it looks like we're going backwards now.

Yes, we now are backward developing country going back to stone-age where govt. is more interested in fighting on burkha, banning jeans, banning skirts in temples etc. and soon govt. will perma ban western wear, ev vehicles and we will be left only with langot, dhoti, kurta, chappals, and bullock-carts!

And soon India will be sold to Ambanis and India will be renamed to Jindia!

What if they ban clothes altogether?

> I'm not talking about cloth brands...but what if they ban people from wearing clothes at all

Not specifically about cloth brands actually. Shein was banned in India, then reintroduced through Reliance Retail.
It's about how bans work.

Now, no problem with India banning laptop imports, wondering whether local companies can partner with good companies, for eg., FrameWork Laptops, etc. to introduce good products. It will be good for India and society altogether.
