India is pretty clever with what it bans: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/india-delhi-bans-disposable-plastic-single-use-a7545541.html

And I don't think they are being ignorant, but dealing with a national issue for their own country - if you think about it they are ahead of the game - but bitcoin is like the internet - border-less and infinite, there will always be conflicts - but it won't stop it

Its not about stopping , paypal is allowed too in india but with restriction and large fee make it unusable for freelancers.

Thanks
