China ranks 75th doesn't mean people don't use internet, its just the population which effects it. and the area covered India has. You have to see the number of Wireless users which is quite high, also TRAI Is just releasing such statements to pass the noob bill which will effect Net neutrality. Countries like USA, Germany, France already have Net Neutrality thus more internet users. India needs to do the same and it is doing. Also the data which they use is dating back to 2012, 2015 these digits would be 1/3 more than in 2012
