Our government is actually scared of cryptocurrencies. They try all sorts of ways to build a negative publicity towards it. Most of the people here think its illegal (it's really funny that they think so) and some them think that it is something that is frowned upon by the government.Once it gather mainstream popularity and gets support from the United States, the Indian govt. will have no choice but to make it a legal tender! Then we could see the crypto market rising up because as you said Indian market is huge!!! Once this happens and Steem breaks out in India, there is no looking back!
