Why isn't Dungeons and Dragons popular in India?

In my opinion, DnD is more accessible now than before. It was not as popular here as compared to the west is because board or card deck games were restricted to family gathering and also the cost of these DnD games didn't help it going mainstream.
Apart from that, I fondly remember days of chupan chupai and pakadam padai XD...
 
Cultural differences.

We don't have elves and dragons and the like in our mythology/fantasy literature.

Hell, we don't have any high fantasy literature for that matter(AFAIK). We have a ton of mythology tho!!

Make it "Khahandar aur Kali Billi" and then let it fly!!!
Most people don't even know what elves and dragons all are

♂️let's pray that there will be more players so we can play
 
Don't D&D games need a kind of long-term comradery kind of club ? We generally lack long attention span and are not that great at keeping close long term relationships.
We rather liked card games like rummy, 28, 40(41 or 42, I forgot), was addictive & thrilling when I was young (still common scene in our rural locality with old people), unlike youth addicted to tiktok these days.
Kauri game for kids.
In some of our locality, Pakida game for serious adults who were deeply into that, personally not into that though.
