You have to note that Himachal or other mountain states with snow need protections. Otherwise they ll quickly lose their local traditions because the mountain snow states have extremely pleasant temperatures even in summer so rich folks from all over the country would simply buy out all the land and houses gentrification overloaded

That's not why land purchases are restricted in HP - the state conducted land reform and collectivization in the 1970s, and to prevent large landlords from being re-established, the outsider restriction was implemented except in zoned areas.

Interesting. I thought it was done for avoiding gentrification
