35% owned by Indians? That means 60-65% owned by big money domainers who got there first. If the Indian authorities want to change the rules and want to get nationalistic and protectionist they will have to deal with a very angry opposition with a lot of money in the game.
During the sunrise or sunset period (whatever it was called) for .asia domains the .asia authorities required that people who wanted to reg names have Asian mailing addresses. At least one European registrar sold the use of an Asian address as part of its .asia registration package. How hard will it be to rent out Indian addresses? In no time flat the percentage of domains owned by 'Indians' can change. The present owners will be very motivated to protect their interests.
