India has witnessed a season of ban in past few months. From the films and documentaries to egg ban to beef ban to temporary meat ban to porn ban, the bans have even tried to invade our privacy and has also interfered with the choice of our meal. But we feel there are more important things that should be banned than telling a person what to eat and what to watch.

11. Spitting on road
12. Parliament logjam
