Because India has a large population, even including 2nd biggest country in poplulation after China. That does not guarantee there is a mass adoption of cryptocurrency in India, it depends on the crypto community in India how to educate Indian people in order to know more about cryptocurrency. And also needed support from the Indian government, in fact several times the government will do banned against cryptocurrency. This is what makes cryptocurrency in India used only 2% of its population. But see enthusiasm crypto community in India, I am sure there will be more progressive in the coming years in India.

India is a very large country in terms of population india will be more progressive in the years to come if the effects of the virus diminish as the system of good governance in India is very strict if it was under the control of crypto, it would have progressed much faster. The economic struggles in India started well before the covid situation and the government will blame everything on the global pandemic and try to convince people about it as they know how to fool the general population. If you take a look back the major slowdown started with demonetization which was a big blunder and then the GST which harmed many industries directly and indirectly and then the Modi government was busy selling all the Public sector undertakings and it will be a big problem in the future and basically the government was destroying everything step by step and it will have a big impact on the economy. Initially it legalized the adoption of crypto but later they imposed strict restrictions as there was no control of any third party if anyone accepts strict action will be taken against him it will take some time to control everything. When it comes to legalization they did not do shit, all we have is rumors of bill and i have heard stupid perception of the BTCitcoin market from some of the ministers under his government and i think it is the general perception of the party and i do not believe we will see anything good from a party who has identity politics as their main agenda.

Hence the ban lifted off in India, i believe in the process of progress will be good on their country and it will be a good opportunities to come in the crypto sectors that will bring good benefits to them. Adoption will be slowly in progress and everything should be taken one at time to make a successful progress for coming years in India. More Indians are more delighted and more interested on crypto hence their government now allows in their country.

Honestly? Not much.
We have pretty significant adoption of the cryptocurrencies all over the world right now and not much has changed imo. Oh, yeah, almost forgot - the only thing that changed is the fact that we have less freedom in the crypto world. You are now obligated to file tax reports, you can legally have your money stolen thanks to KYC laws or Binance may ask you to promise you'll never use BTC mixer services in order to get access to your own money. Where is the progress?
I'm not against BTC or progression. I honestly wish I'm wrong. But to me it looks more like regression. We're heading toward an era of control and it doesn't look like cryptocurrencies will be favored.
Everything comes at a cost. You cannot expect the government of a country to allow people to freely transact money and do nothing about it. People would have taxes by doing so and even carry out illegal activities which will strong impact the countries infrastructure. For me, it’s a nice thing that government is taking initiatives to accept the technology and making it regulated so everyone will be able to make use of it for a justified purpose and not something scandalous. Decentralization and government cannot go hand in hand but regulated decentralized crypto and government can. It is all about regulation and not control.

Even if the government of India have reversed it's decision with regards to the banning of cryptocurrencies and now open its engagement into using cryptocurrencies, still there is no assurance that progress will work out into their country because existence of cryptocurrency in a country will not make sure that the economy will positively grow in an instant. It would take time and that's for sure. Let us just all see if what will happen to the adaptation done by India if its government and people will make good use of it to help the funding of their economy that could help them lead to progress or they would still remain the same due to the reason that only few of the people can be able to use and adapt on using cryptocurrencies.
Still the progress of the economy of India must not dependently only relies on the existence of cryptocurrencies in their country because there are already lots of countries who have openly adapt using cryptocurrencies at the very first but still the progress of their economy have relied into the capacity of their country to manage on how they would deal to make their country progressive. Simply, the effort of country's government and its people would be a big count to make their economy grow into a progressive one.

From what I do know about India's current state of things, in regards to cryptocurrency is that it's pretty bleak. Though it's currently legal, the government certainly isn't for it. However I think like all things, eventually the country will come around when the "youth" takes over. As for anything in this world I think most countries are ran by "non-internet era" baby boomers and that is starting to change. With that change comes the youth movement which is much more accepting of these types of technologies.

Waiting after corona virus ended and give chance for Indian to get recovery for their economic and give space to use bitcoin as trading and investing again, when bitcoin have been raise I think many people looks interested to buy and hold bitcoin for the future. India look serious how to build bitcoin as their way and good moment.

Although I am not an Indian citizen, I am a regular traveler to India and I know how the system works there. At least regarding the cryptocurrency, the lawmakers (regardless of the political affiliation) are more or less neutral. They are not overly opposed to it, or in support of it. The problem is with some of the bureaucrats who help in formulating the government policy. Some of these guys do have issues with cryptocurrency and they regularly urge the lawmakers to adopt tougher measures against crypto trading. Fortunately till now, the government has ignored them. But overall, the cryptocurrency users in India face a lot of harassment and lack of clarity related to tax liability and legality.

They follow the same path that the Chinese are doing. They allow BTC and then the next morning you see in the news they aren't already. But eventually, people will figure that their government has no means of disallowing blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Since Draper invested in the country, he must have known something that we don't. Where else does the economy of a country that hit rock bottom but up.

Porn is banned in India. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) That says a lot about how progressive this country is. Regarding cryptocurrency, we don't have any blanket ban as such. But users face a lot of persecution and intimidation from the authorities. They will arrest someone for trading in cryptocurrency, saying that he doesn't possess the mandatory license. But then they will remain silent, if someone ask why no such license has been issued to anyone till now.

Providing a cryptocurrency legal framework and imposing some anti-crypto regulations are two completely different things. The amount of illegal activities going on with BTC is insesizable considering the fiat criminal activity volume. Yet, you can purchase stuff online without having your money seized for suspiciousness. I would personally not even call it "Bitcoin regulations" anymore. They're just anti cryptocurrencies and anti decentralization. Makes no sense to have regulations that supposedly support a decentralized coin if through them the state enforces a third party into the game. That's not support - it's some sort of war our states began against us that most do not even feel.

Legal but still on the table for the talking. India has been never sure of the cryptocurrencies, there are many implications seen after they legalized it as we know Indians do abuse what can be a source of income. Today it is legal, then tomorrow you'll hear on the news it is prohibited again. Their government know how their people would react if they legalized it or not, best if they do but if they don't it's up to them. However I think like all things, eventually the country will come around when the "youth" takes over. As for anything in this world I think most countries are ran by "non-internet era" baby boomers and that is starting to change. With that change comes the youth movement which is much more accepting of these types of technologies.
The changing environment is inevitable, 10 years from now people are be more likely to accept things digitally, less anxious when things are getting done online because today? there are still a lot of people who doubt the digital process, they think it is always a scam, they think they it will just ruin them so they are accepting things manually although it consumes a lot of time. Just wanna share you guys, my mom told me to pay for our internet so she told me to go to the bank but since we have our community rules going outside is very limited so I decided to look for an option online and found out that it could be done in online, all I need is a wallet balance for an e-wallet then I talked to my mom, I said I'll be paying it online so I won't need to go outside and guess what she has said " No, don't " Now I got an idea on what we are dealing with transitioning, it is quite impossible to jump from digital in 5 to 8 years. Wait til we get old enough.

In India there is a greater chance for crypto to make a difference and they also do have some of the cheapest mobile contracts available anywhere in the world so the possibility there in theory. However a large part of the population dont have easy access, to actually buy the phone that can run the app; its a major purchase and not justified for many. Having free payments and ability to do commerce across such a vast land even where they have no conventional banking, this could easily be a positive that I hope nobody would dismiss as productive and beneficial both to India and crypto itself by being part of enabling growth. The most important part of Bitcoin I've always thought is the easy ability to deal with very small amounts and with low fees, that part will be vital for the masses not the elite. Bitcoin has to be part of creating reliability for small business to do well, if it does it will change the world imo. The greatest growth in any country of the world will always come from the smallest elements, the smallest enterprise can double in a year which no great global enterprise can rival for raw energy.

Porn is banned in India. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) It is Muslim Country mate so surely Porn will be banned ,and nothing people can do about that as they are need to follow(majority is muslim then christian and other religion will have no voice regarding everything in Porn issue. That says a lot about how progressive this country is. Regarding cryptocurrency, we don't have any blanket ban as such. But users face a lot of persecution and intimidation from the authorities. They will arrest someone for trading in cryptocurrency, saying that he doesn't possess the mandatory license. But then they will remain silent, if someone ask why no such license has been issued to anyone till now.
Months after the legalization another issue comes out and the banning are again the topic. Why not have privacy when everything is almost banned in that country?

Indian government has always been confused and indecisive about bitcoins and their usage because earlier they banned bitcoins and made a clear statement that no transactions are allowed. Suddenly all the exchanges that were developed had to shutdown and later they said that they don't appreciate bitcoins but allow the transactions.
the government needs to understand that in a country where the tech is already so far behind, if they won't allow exchanges an other startups to operate how do they see any progress at all? I mean they should be encouraging such startups while they are actually against them which doesn't give positive signals about progress in coming time.

It is Muslim Country Its minority muslim thats why Pakistan exists, they have a different faith. Doesn't mean the country has to be authoritarian in their regulations even if the country has much of the population following a faith but its probably important to note that country does seem to take this stance of heavy enforcement of every policy dynamic and section of the economy. Im not sure India could be described as capitalist now or in future but I have that view of many countries with large central banks which dictate policy, it applies to large parts of europe which is also a trading syndicate. We dont have that many countries in perfect freedom

The government of India in the first place should change its perspective on bitcoin or cryptos so that progress for their country will be achieved. I believe that crypto and this blockchain technology could create a great advantage towards the country's improvement if crypto will be legally adopted and will be fully supported by the government.

The acceptance and adaptation of India when it comes to the usage of Bitcoin was really great but honestly there is still a confusion on their perspective because all of a sudden they are changing up their minds about the acceptance of usage but prohibiting the use as a mode of payment. Indecisive about what they are really into when it comes to Bitcoin usage which must be settled first before seeing what their progress would be since they have already allow Bitcoin usage on their country.
But the adaptation and acceptance of cryptocurrency in India does not momentarily state that they will already get into a progress. Although adaptation of crypto might have an impact on their economy, but still there are other factors that must be considered to totally make their country progressive and those are dependently rely on their government and people.

Now the restrictions have been lifted, even Binance started to develop their trading platform in India so they bought an exchange called Wazirx few months back so definitely there is a potential market in India but as you said government proposed a draft to ban cryptos completely so its like confused status there.
