Why we must stand with standing passengers (from our sitting seats)

It turns out that the last outpost of consistent law enforcement in India is very strict about all passengers sitting down during take-off, landing and turbulence. Not because like the Enforcement Directorate it can, but because you can't wear a seat belt if you're not sitting, and wearing a seat belt is a non-negotiable safety procedure. Airlines would prefer you to die sitting down if there is a mishap.
