Why are the official prices of Sony televisions in India on average 2 to 7 times more expensive when compared to their counterparts of the same size and same model televisions in other countries like United States, Canada and United Kingdom? Why are the Indian customers being ripped off?

For example, take a look at the new 2020 model Sony X800H. The official listed price in the United States for the 85 inch model is $1,999.99 which turns out to be 151, 902.41 in Indian Rupees. Whereas the listed price for the same size (85 inch) model in India is 699,900 Indian Rupees which turns out to be $9,213.40. Why is there such a big difference in price and what can I do about it? Also, what is the best way in which I can get that (or any other Sony television which I want) at a reasonable and affordable price which matches the global pricing without getting ripped off? (Links are provided below for reference).

AMA: The History of Television News in the United States

Hi, I’m Charles L. Ponce de Leon. I’m a historian at Long Beach State University in California and an expert in modern US cultural history, especially the history of the mass media. My latest book, That’s the Way It Is: A History of Television News in America, has just been published by the University of Chicago Press (http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/T/bo12345529.html). It examines the evolution of TV news in the United States from the 1940s to the early 2000s. It focuses mostly on the major networks and cable news outlets, but I also discuss local news and syndicated programming that was notable or influential. To research the book, I watched a lot of TV news, much of it online but also at a variety of archives. And I read a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including social scientific monographs about the multiple functions of journalism and the mass media in American society. I really enjoyed researching and writing this book, and it changed my views about the television news business. Like many people who remember the television news of the 1960s and 1970s, I used to believe that TV news degenerated because network executives forced journalists to make it more trivial and entertaining. But as I discovered (and you will, too, when you read my book), things were really more complicated than this, and in many respects Americans have the television news that they want and probably deserve.

[United States] With encryption (and digital back doors) in the news again, are you legally required to allow the police into something physical if they have a warrant?

Here is the digital scenario:

My data is encrypted. I am not required to give the police the decryption key. They must figure it out themselves. (Hence the argument law enforcement is getting into with Apple, which is it's own topic). If they can figure it out, great! Evidence!

The physical scenario:

Let's say that I have built a physically impenetrable building. The police show up with a warrant. Must I leave my building? Do I have to open the door? Secondly, let's say I was outside my impenetrable building and the police show up. Am I legally required to let them in, or just like in the case of digital content, they have to figure it out for themselves?
