Also poking around on RIPE Atlas suggests that for a non-zero amount of networks in India the C DNS Root Server that cogent runs is inaccessible: https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/71894623#probes
I don't understand why Cogent is allowed to operate one of the root servers. Doesn't ICANN do any kind of technical background check on companies when letting the contract? For those who haven't been around long enough, this isn't Cogent's first depeering argument. Nor their second. And they're behaving unreasonably. I don't know any of the details -this time- but historically speaking Cogent is behaving badly -again- and you can take that to the bank.
