India is the next China.
As you may have noticed with Brexit, nationalism breaks things and costs a fortune - hence all the shortages in the supermarkets and transport queues. It is ideology over practicality and good sense.
Modi is a nationalist and wants Chinese levels of oversight on domestic tech use. He also wants Western companies to leave. The West has been pinching Indian tech talent for years. He wants Indian tech owned and operated by Indians working for Indian companies. Stuff like this gets rid of the Western companies. It knackers the tech in India and the possibility of tech development, but for nationalists, control is everything.
So any Western companies who were operating in China, Hong Kong, Russia and India are going to be downsizing quite a bit. Stick around and the Indian Govt. will do what the others have done. Fines. Bans. Blocks. Imprisonment etc.
