Removed from the appstores, but installed apps still work fine though.

TikTok is a potential competitor to YT.

They might have to block the servers.

I doubt the Indian ISPs would do that. TikTok has CDNs hosted with Airtel.

Low cost per click in India so this is better

I guess they will do it. They already did that with porn sites so they know what to ban.
Plus it is useless money funnels to china. Indian or US devs would quickly copy those apps and I think Indian or US replacements would be up within a week.

Maybe when Instagram Reels release to india, the tiktok public will move to ig

the funny thing is China can't even complaint to anybody due to its own censorship rules and blocking many websites

Why the hell are you guys happy about it? Can you freaking look at the bigger picture of these blocking things going on lately?

Yes we can, but India is a strong democratic republic, if government takes a misstep with blocking then there would be a big hue and cry. With chinese apps, its a step welcome by most Indians, especially during this time of chinese aggression
