Google seems to have leveraged its dominant position in India & reduced the ability of manufacturers to opt for alternate versions of Android OS.

This case is similar to that Google faced in Europe, where regulators imposed a $5 billion fine for forcing manufacturers to pre-install its apps on Android devices.
