How, exactly, do you propose doing that? Do you mean hiring lawyers to try and get the court's decision reversed? Or lobbying to get legislation passed to prevent courts from being able to do things like this in the future? And if the court's decision doesn't get reversed and/or the legislation doesn't pass, what then?

Go after the supporters of the people who implemented the ban.

    There's probably quite a lot of them. Modi-style authoritarianism is extremely popular in India.

      Unfortunately yes. Every democratic country deserves the government they get. However, in the case of India, it seems that it is slowly sliding towards authoritarianism and maybe soon Modi and co. can elect themselves without asking the people. Though India is not alone with this and it is happening in multiple countries. Usually the end of credible opposition, being crushed, marks the beginning of the end, like we have seen with Russia and Belarus.

      Here are some red flags from India:

      And they are very powerful on the internet as well as migrants in western countries of the majority so-called-majority-religion-of-india support them. Hate speech on the internet against non-Hindus is common in the country and even here they are trying hard to remove my comments fearing many people will see their true faces. It's only social media and whatsapp that's required by you-know-which-majority-religion terrorist accounts to spread venom and hate speech against other communities. source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61090363

    > Go after the supporters of the people who implemented the ban.

    I don't know what you mean by this, but if you mean persuading them to change their support, that's a very long timeline, certainly not something that fits into a development sprint...

    And if you mean "attack" supporters of the people who implemented the ban, that's a terrible idea.
