Let's see what happens. Personally, most people really don't cares about their data privacy, it only really became a talking point when TikTok started gaining dominance in India cause China is a geopolitical and millitary threat. I don't have any real hopes of them enacting something close to the GDPR ever.

Not more dangerous to fellow humans than other kinds of world leaders, surely? America, without nationalist populists at the helm these past two decades, was clearly dangerous to the people of Afghanistan and Iraq (unless they are not part of humanity).
Self-serving politicians are the rule across the world, not exceptions. The best we can hope for is one person is not in power for too long.

I'm always on board for criticism of any ruling government, Modi included. But in this case, it seems like OP is wrong. They're coming up with a replacement bill. It won't be GDPR, but it'll be something.
