You actually don't understand the level of dependence India has on WhatsApp.

Yes. It is said the Colonial British used to say The sun never sets in the British Empire.

In today's context with WhatsApp, The sun never rises without a billion GOOD MORNING messages and another billion GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO replies on WhatsApp in India /s

I am an indian who doesn't use WhatsApp or Facebook. It has never inconvenienced me - only WhatsApp users are inconvenienced when I ask them to SMS or email me. If the government bans WhatsApp today, most indians will simply switch to RCS or other platforms.
