Twitter will ban the American President but is afraid not to listen to the Indian government. I guess they choose what political parties they want to support.

Twitter waited until a couple of days before the president left office to do that, after waiting through years of flagrant rule violation, and until they were extremely certain of the way public opinion had swung. That was no act of courage from them, it was purely to try and manage public opinion.
No they banned him from posting while he was still in office.
Twitter banned an individual Account for violating their policy. Not quite the same as a government forcing them to block tweets.
There is a difference in individual vs a government legal order.
