Need help as a person newly into Drone Flying

Apprentice
I am gaining interest in drones. So, I bought a beginner drone worth 5k, used it for a month, and crashed it from height. I believe that I have learned a lot from it (like what not to do etc...) and now I am a decent Drone pilot. I am a student, hence I have a small budget, yet want to proceed with my so called HOBBY. What will you people suggest I should do?
 
After having played around with several "toy" drones , DJI is the only viable option .
Mini 4K is possibly the best option for the beginner wanting to get into an advanced mode
There is nothing else that really comes close.

Sadly, the gov in its infinite wisdom has blocked imports of DJI which has pushed local prices to 2X that of intl prices.
Done supposedly in the name of boosting local manufacturing - with the catch that there is no real local manufacturing to begin with

Our many rules are very stupid and way outdated even the ones being coming out recent times.

Like Forced to purchase SIM In Ladakh as rest of Indian SIM does not work there( unless post paid)
Security reasons ..but how difficult is it to get a new SIM for terrorists. ..so how does this rule help actually. God knows.

Another example...recently a adventurous couple coming to India from USA had Garmin satellite Gps ( one that sends messages through satellite in need of emergency) .

They got arrested for bringing it.
Firstly..even iphones have that tech now and Android is bringing out too.

Secondly you promote Indian Himalayas as great place for adventures and the very basic device that is required for outdoor activity in emergency is so restricted in today's time.

Terrorists have updated themselves . They have different means of communication in forms of HUMINT and other signals.
In many operations they have found terrorist no longer carry satellite phones because it is easy to track them with it nowadays as tracking devices are much better now.

So why so much restriction when there is no need also and they are not helping much.

I second the DJI Mini. It is suprisingly full featured yet easy to cut your teeth on.

That said, some warning follows:

@solo_wing This is your first warning. You are coming dangerously close to speaking sense and exhibiting independent thought. You are close to sedition, treason, and possibly being a traitorous spy.

@superczar How dare you even state that there is no manufacturing happening here? Have you not looked at the papers? Have you not seen the amazing success of Make in India movement? Now we have mechanical keyboards, bluetooth speakers, and most recently even iPhones that are being made in India and exported to other countries.

Both of you need to temper down your rhetoric and keep in mind, that whatever the west has invented and is about to invent, we have had all those during the time or Mahabharatha and Ramayana.

And please note, Gau Mootr has been used as a cure for cancer for ages here. The west did not yet discover this.
