The push comes as India seeks greater regulatory control over global tech companies. The initiative would require manufacturers to include the government's GOV.in app store and related apps like BHIM, DigiLocker, VoterID on smartphones sold from India.

Beyond pre-installation, they also requested that their apps be available for download outside the company's app stores from third-party sources without triggering "untrusted source" warnings.

an opinion?

Okay, well it's my opinion you're a lying nazi with a big butt and your butt smells and you like to smell your own butt.

Fortunately that's an opinion. Hey rule 3 isn't so ridiculously subjective after all. (also an opinion!)

And you're entitled to that opinion my friend, lets have a good day.
