try JioMail or AdaniMail.

on serious note, Tutanota & Mailbox are way better than proton, but no guarantee those wont be blocked in future.
iIt's not about a particular govt, rather the masses, internet landed in all wrong hands in this country, who can sell their persona/private information for a 10/- coupon. And there is no returning back.
Privacy & democracy in this country is Myth.
Whatever you use, for example you purchase tutanota subscription, its already attached to centralised surveillance system adhar. (banks,mobile, everything is attached you to adhar profile)

No need.
they will chose the "whatsApp model", where you are in a dream that your messages and calls are encrypted.

Every day, the current govt. strives to emulate Sasta China!

The privacy community faced a major setback this week as Skiff was acquired by Notion, forcing users to migrate. I've been busy replacing the Skiff email address with a Proton email address everywhere this week. Fortunately, I used a custom domain on Proton. If using Proton becomes too challenging despite using a VPN, I can easily migrate away without any hassle this time because of a custom domain.
 
This is so sad. I have a lot of services liked with my proton e-mail. Should I just start changing my email address, or will there be a substantial notice period before any potential ban is implemented?

The police is now tracking the IP address of the email address. Sources have told ANI that these kind of emails are usually sent using a VPN connection to enable the sender to mask the original IP address. The cyber team is confident of tracing the IP address. Sources in the investigation team also say that the Dark Web could have been used to send the threat mail.

Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain

Proton Mail came under scrutiny for its role in a legal request by the Spanish authorities leading to the identification and arrest of a user.

Related. Given Proton will comply with countries that are signed into by the Swiss govt. for data sharing, I guess this might not be as big of a problem in the future once India is also a member. Though, even in the above case, Proton was just one of the links.
