I think that it depends such as if the site is owned by a US citizen or European country then they are looking for members in the same country especially if they are running a survey site. They also have qualifications such as being good in the English language. Maybe Asian countries rarely make earning websites so there are less opportunities here in our place.

Indian's are not alone in this, I also got sad every time I can't registered to those good paying sites because its not available in the country.

Its not just the indians..other countries don't have much opportunities as well.Maybe companies don't advertise in India and other counries which don't have many opportunities atm.

Many non US countries have trouble earning online not just us in Asia. The thing is that working with people from their own country is more easy for anyone. There are many opportunities to earn online that accept international members.
But yes, alot of them only allow US/UK/Aus, etc members. But it's not like they're doing it on purpose. It just that that's how much they can do while making a profit.

E.g: Sites like Swagbucks make and give money by displaying Ads.
These Ads are targeted for US/UK members (Ads about companies like Sprint, Verizon, Jell-o, etc) and pays more than international ads that you see on ForumCoin. They pays less because they have to advertise SO MANY ads compared to ads only for a single country/area which requires less expense.

These ads would be meaningless for non US members since they won't be using those services and hence it is unprofitable/pointless to show ads to them. (An ad says there is a local discount on Walmart somewhere in Los Angeles but that would be pointless to show to someone living in Madagascar.
Advertisers spend ALOT of money for ads which is why they have to be efficient with their budget.)

And that's why some sites don't allow members from other countries.

Also, some countries are blocked because there has been a lot of fraud members from that country and so they won't allow any more people from that region. (Sad... that good people have to suffer for bad people's actions). hwew are many more reason. just have to hope some of these things change for better soon.

Honestly, you shouldn't feel so down for getting limited opportunities because you're Indian. People from some countries face even more trouble while working online. Take my country "Bangladesh" for example.
In India you guys already have Paypal and amazon working there but we don't have that even though we're neighboring countries. I see many opportunities to earn online but then see that they only pay via paypal (worse if they demand a verified one!)

I have some Indian friends who invited me to a social media site that pays. They were already earning and suddenly they were out of the picture. When I inquired, they said that payments to them were on hold because they are residents of India.

Many other countries have low earning opportunities than just India. A lot of countries have even less opportunities than what India has. But if you do stuff like sell online, or do forex trading, then your earning capacity is the same since it depends on your skills. Your earnings will likely be low on GPT sites since most of them are targeted for US or UK members.
