As usual a Stupid and Kneejerk reaction - BAN IT. No efforts at balancing security concerns with convenience for regular citizens. If you think this is strange try to photograph a few Court Houses or colonial era ministry building in New Delhi - see how quickly the cops get on your case.

"Satanic Verses" hurts religious sentiments - BAN IT (never mind the freedom of expression debate).

Couple of Files on very popular file sharing sites violate copyrights - SHUT IT DOWN (never mind the convenience).

Plastic Bags causing pollution - BAN IT (never mind the convenience or the fact that no one enforces it).

Alcohol Addiction is a problem in some states - BAN IT (never mind that the so called "dry states" of India have some of the highest alcohol consumption rates).

and so on....

So in India BAN IT is a very popular Judicial/Legislative response.
