'Ban' seems to be the new buzzword for the Government of India. From beef to documentaries, the government is leaving no stone unturned to uphold 'the dignity of India'. Here are 6 things that have already been banned in India. Some of these simply deserve a slow clap. Authorities, are you listening?

1. Ban on beef in Maharashtra

Want to satiate your craving for beef in Maharashtra? Fret not. If you have Rs 10,000 or 5 years to waste in jail then the ban doesn't really apply to you. Well that's what you have to pay if you are found possessing or consuming beef in Maharashtra. Only if our authorities had some sense.

2. Ban on cuss words in Bollywood

The Censor Board is back to doing what it does best: censoring. While it still needs to be seen whether there'd be a ban on the 28 swear words that the CBFC had proposed earlier, it definitely has taken offence to words like lesbian, ghanta, haramipana, haram ke pille and haramkhor, replacing these from the film Dum Laga Ke Haisha. What is the Censor Board trying to prove? Don't we all know what these words mean?
