I'm on ACT, and it appears that I can access both http://web.archive.org/ and https://web.archive.org/
On Airtel, I can't access the http version. So must be an Airtel specific block, unrelated to the "Indian Government."

They're upgrading you from HTTP to HTTPS. curl, by default, does not follow redirects. Add `--location` to enable it: $ curl --location --head archive.org

EDIT: Apparently archive.org does not do HSTS. If they did, a lot less people would be noticing the censorship. <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0"/><style>body{margin:0px;padding:0px;}iframe{width:100%;height:100%}</style><iframe src="http://www.airtel.in/dot/?dpid=1&dpruleid=3&cat=107&dplanguage=-&url=http%3a%2f%2farchive%2eorg%2f" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder=0></iframe>
