> And that is, in my view, the driver for India’s interest in data residency. I thought you were going to go further with that thought. I'm from an African country where the government tried to block social media during protests at DNS level. These efforts were trivially thwarted by using VPNs. The next trick was to cut off the internet entirely - unfortunately for the government, this broke electronic payments and ground the economy to a halt, so the internet blackout lasted a day. I suspect one of the factors is that India wants to be able to cut itself off from the internet without breaking (payment) systems that have data stored offshore.
