I am from India and I am pretty concerned about terrorism, but I am assuming that the people/businesses who will end up following such rules would most probably be the people who aren't planning any thing nefarious.
Meanwhile, the real bad guys are going to find a way around it - and will the govt of India pay me damages if my private key ended up on piratebay because someone stole it from their servers? Nope, don't think so.
Most Indian's have been brainwashed into accepting flaws/weaknesses in (big)governance, kind of like - "its a feature, not a bug"
You're on HN. This puts you far above the "average person". You probably have critical thinking, and problem solving abilities that not many people have.
My guess is that once tech. penetration reaches a critical mass where the rewards for breaking into a low security server outweighs the hassle for the poor or smart people, only then will the government policies be upgraded.
