Thank the post colonial hangover for that. The current govt is doing some great things in this regard. GST has made this “stops at border of states” a thing of the past now.

I don’t think Netflix would have survived with the earlier regime in India which had sustained this monster called the censor board.

The current ruling party, though projected by the Indian and international media as conservative, hasn’t created any issues for Netflix to operate as is, which I think is very very surprising (and pleasant).

With the kind of mindless censorship, most movies and series are boring to watch on Indian tv. Netflix is a great departure from the rest of the content that treats its viewers as kids.

You should read up on the e-way bill system that has been introduced. It is a total nightmare. Do you realise that under this law even ordinary citizens have to generate e-way bills if they transport anything valued at over Rs.50,000 in their own vehicle?! Technically you can be help liable even if you have a laptop or even a phone valued at over Rs.50K in Total - that is, if the value of the goods totals upto Rs.50,000. This is rife for abuse.
I’m not aware of this issue. Even if it exists, I’m positive that it’ll be fixed sooner than later.

Such a big overhaul for a country of 1.3 billion indeed will have some quirks that’d need to be fixed over a few iterations.
