I feel it's kind of telling here that the opinion piece doesn't give even a single actual example of something Twitter is, specifically, doing wrong in regards to India.

well you have not been following the news then.

Main opposition party filed a case claiming a document released by the Key party in power is fraudulent.

Twitter marked tweets referencing that as manipulated media.

Police investigating the case arrived at twitter offices to get information that made them arrive at the conclusion.

This in twitter's view if attack on Freedom of speech. Shocking logic.

Twitter has to appoint a nodal grivevance as per IT laws enacted 3 months back.

Facebook, Google etc have done so, twitter hasn't

Govt responded via press release to the drama twitter was enacting.This was one of the key slap downs "Twitter Inc., a USA based private company, in its communique says that it seeks "constructive dialogue", "collaborative approach" from the government of a sovereign democratic republic to "safeguard interests of the public". It is time that Twitter disabuses itself of this grandiosity and comply with the laws of India."

- A embarrassing "strategy" document came out in the public domain that was attributed to the main opposition party. The doc might or might not be true.

- A govt minister of the ruling party tweeted it

- The opposition party wrote to Twitter claiming the document is fake and the Tweet should be flagged.

- Twitter intervened and flagged the tweet by the minister as referring to manipulated media.

Two questions: - Why does Twitter get to mediate and be judge/jury/enforce on a political feud between two parties in a sovereign nation

- Twitter has let many tweets stand in the past referring to demonstrably false documents so there is a very overt demonstration of bias. The opposition party is a leftist party which has failed to win any general elections.
