According to some Indian anti porn activist:
“Nothing can more efficiently destroy a person, fizzle their mind, evaporate their future, eliminate their potential or destroy society like pornography,” Mr. Vaswani wrote in his petition to the Supreme Court. “It is worse than Hitler, worse than AIDS, cancer or any other epidemic,” he added. “It is more catastrophic than nuclear holocaust, and it must be stopped.”
After the Supreme Court rejected his petition, Mr. Vaswani gave his list of 857 websites to Pinky Anand, once a top lawyer for Mr. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party and now a top lawyer for Mr. Modi’s government. It was Ms. Anand, he said, who delivered his list to the Department of Telecommunications.
“Yes, Mr. Vaswani gave me that list of porn websites,” Ms. Anand said in an interview. “I did not instruct the ministry to block, but more specifically, take appropriate action.”
So now porn is effectively banned in India. I'm sure there are plenty of negative consequences of porn, but a ban seems over the top
