Starlink is licensed in over 165 countries and has spent five years complying with every single law and requirement of the government of India, so why still no license?

Got a hair cut via Urban today morning. The barber has been in Mumbai for sometime but is from Azamgarh. Works six days a week, morning to night and earns around a lakh rupees per month after his basic travel expenses. Said there is no dearth of opportunity or jobs, just need to work hard. Said wouldn’t take an entry level government job even if offered as he likes his work and autonomy.
I asked him about UP. He said earlier it took 7-8 hours to go from his village to Lucknow. Now you can do a round trip in that time while stopping for lunch and tea. Added that your glass of tea is unlikely to spill on the highways - they are so good. Was very happy with the development work in the country. Said in the village his family got some scheme benefits but not in the city. Told me TDS is deducted so he proudly files his returns and often gets refunds.
Has one son who he sends to a private pre-school and wife earned extra but is currently on break given the kid is small. I felt like telling him that he must let go of this toxic positivity about India and his life, and he must pronto create an account on X and Instagram to receive the “correct” opinions about our ostensibly ‘failed’ nation - but I didn’t have the heart to say that to him! ;)
