Google and other search engine results are based on a number or factors. One important one is volume of clicks. India has a large number of internet users and therefore indian news sites have many visitors. Google understands the high traffic and large number of clicks on their articles as evidence of the sites being trustworthy and reliable. So if website A is Indian and has 100,000 visitors on its article about Pakistani news and website B is Pakistani and has 20,000 visitors on its article on the same news then Google will more often than not choose website A before website B as the most reliable source.
Of course there are other factors as well but the sheer volume of Indian news outlets in the English language means that they have a much stronger starting position. Pakistan can counter this by increasing the number of its English language news outlets, encouraging more to read news online rather then watching the news on TV and increasing the quality of their content.
