Microsoft will not sell Fallout 3 in India, citing cultural sensitivities.
Developer Bethesda Softworks announced earlier this month that Fallout 3 will be available on store shelves and online in North America on Oct. 28, in Europe and Australia on Oct. 30, and in the U.K. on Oct. 31.
That won't be the case in India, however, due to cultural sensitivities, according to Ashim Das Mathur, marketing manager for Xbox India. Microsoft did not comment on the specifics. The company was to distribute the game in India under agreement with Bethesda, Mathur said.
Fallout 3 has been rated 'M' for Mature by the Entertainment Software Rating Board for blood and gore, intense violence, sexual themes, strong language and use of drugs.
The game is set in 2277, 200 years after a nuclear war, in an area around Washington, D.C., that is fictitiously called Capitol Wasteland.

I glad I don't live in India. No matter what the world says, there is no other place I'd rather live in like the good ole USA!

Two headed Brahmen were just to much for the Indian society. I can't tell you how many times I slaughtered Brahmen because they got in the way during a fire fight.
