I guess my question is if US tech companies don't comply with the Indian government and gets shut down, wouldn't an identical company who will comply with the Indian government just take its place?
The censorship is taking place either way right? Why not take the money?

Yes, and this is exactly why companies decide to stay in business in said regions and focus on what they do best - continue to offer products and services (or "maximize shareholder value" if you're cynical).

Yes, companies have to adhere to the laws of a country or stop doing business there. The blame lies with the Indian Government

OP is arguing that they should choose to stop doing business instead of adhere to the laws.

The article is about the Indian government not tech companies, stop encouraging this obvious deflection
This leaves them with two choices - either they stop doing business in said countries, or maximize profits by conducting business in those countries by loosening their belief system to include the countries' negatives, such as censorship of political discourse in this case.
