You see, india is way bigger than Singapore or many smaller countries that were able to create more privacy friendly apps than this.

And you can find many open source tools/spec as well. Even after all that, the government is going with this?

Also, it's not about the app but past behaviour of the government. It doesn't seem sincere in the slightest. And democracy makes it so you can't change something if the masses doesn't want it and the masses don't care.

And if you want to change masses, remember that many famous people who changed the world were killed or lynched by the mob.

People are not altruistic. If they think something can benefit them somewhat, they will do it but if there are no upsides, only downsides. Why would you do it?
