BharOS will not replace Android
BharOS is an operating system written by Indian students that aims to eliminate the dependency of Google apps on Android. Let’s be real here, like how Apple attracts most users iOS Into the giant walled garden of an ecosystem, Google also draws Android users into the walled garden. While Google’s walled garden may not be as beautiful as Apple’s, it will make things really difficult for those transitioning to a non-Google ecosystem.
Therefore, although BharOS can act as a competitor to Android, it will not replace Android unless the Countries decide to ban using Android with GApps.
