Why is it important to you to mention they're indian in this context?

Well it helped me understand the source of the strange flag.

For starters, they are not American, and this site has a predominantly American and European audience and participation.

Also, I am the kind of pessimist who goes through my device's root stores, and I "distrust" every root CA that I don't need to trust. This has never broken anything within my perception. I distrust the Turkey CAs, the Chinese communist CAs, the Indian CAs, and any other non-NATO sorts who have no reason to be serving any data to my devices.

* the compromised eMudhra certs were not root CAs but intermediates.
