hi everyone!

as someone really inexperience with these things, i would like to know:
so, what if India rejected the format? how could it affect us?

ISO standards are determined by votes by different national level 
standards bodies. A country voting against a proposal reduces it's 
chances of being accepted as a ISO standard.

i would also like to know how true it is when saying "India rejected" rather 
than "BIS committee rejected" the format.

BIS Committee represents India at a national level in ISO standards.
