Sorry to be so vague there, but I was only half listening when my friend was explaining it to me. Probably has something to do with it. Maybe Guru Dave can clear this up.
As far as I know, Jinder Mahal's WWE Championship victory did receive some coverage from the India media. While not as popular as The Great Khali, he does enjoy some level of popularity with the general audience who tend to invest in the kayfabe narrative.

The term "Maharaja" comes from Sanskrit and loosely translates to "King of Kings" or "High king". The reason why the WWE Network isn't popular in India is because Ten Sports broadcasts (literally) all WWE programming including PPVs and Network specials for free.
