Kissing in Public/PDA

If you go by the country's terms and laws, it is illegal to express love publically in the world's second-largest population.

In fact, section 294 of the Indian Penal Code grants permission for punishment whenever there is a case of obscenity.

 

Beef

Beef is India's latest and most famous addition to the list of banned things in the country. It all started with Maharashtra's government in 2015 where the possession and selling of beef were banned. In fact, anybody caught violating the law was fined INR 10,000 along with five years of jail time.
