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.

Its usually somehow possible to evade such bans, but not every citizen knows about proxies and how to properly use them. So reducing its accessibility certainly hurts India.
Not sure I’m not Indian. But we should see it as a war against encryption
No need for anything extra proton already comes with alternate routing

Right, thanks for correcting. But I also think that in addition to the government, the current state of the country is influenced by people and people worldview.
