> India has over a billion people with at least 500 million smartphone users, tens of millions isn't that out of the way.

One out of every fifty or so people in a country the size of India getting involved enough in an Internet fight to download and rate an Android app is pretty hard to believe.

10M is a huge number, even for a big country like India.

Indians sure as heck don't need motivation to download TikTok; it was downloaded 323 million times in India over last year.
