When Russia sought to ban PM in their country they used the same excuse as India (fake bomb threats). However, understanding that this can be done via different email services, just underlines that Russia and India are scared of their citizens taking their privacy back and perhaps even organizing.
They even tried to restrict VPN companies by passing a bill that forces them to keep logs. Proton was one of the companies that packed up and left. Good VPN companies don’t have servers in India.

They’re far from being the sole countries scared about citizens safekeeping any semblance of online privacy (hi from France, EU)
Sorry to hear about France. It’s really worse in France regarding your freedom online. Ironically.
