The account I have used is more than a year old. I would be harassed by Hindutva goons online and offline if I use my real identity. Maybe also a false police case.
Also Razorpay is not innocent here. They could have disputed the demand in the court. Could have informed the users that their data was shared with government. Could have shared only the transactions that originated in a foreign country.They did none of these.
Also note that donations could not have been done with a foreign credit card. So the intent is to harass the individuals that supported the fack-checking website.
Also, note that the founder and the company has been fans of the current nationalistic government. More reasons why they did not dispute the police demand.

Anonymous because I worry about my and family's life. I have a real handle, if I use that, I'm almost certain that I will receive death threats and false police cases.
The issue is not misrepresented. There was no court order. The said police written request is not contested by Razorypay.
Looking at the past tweets from one of the co-founder it is not surprising to see the compliance with the request.

The source you quoted is questionable.
"The website has published fake news[26] and anti-Muslim[30] commentary on multiple occasions, including a 2020 incident in which it falsely claimed that a Hindu boy was sacrificed in a Bihar mosque"
From the wiki page of OpIndia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpIndia
Also foreign credit cards were not enabled on RazorPay

>money was received from syria and pakistan to this account
This is untrue. Razor pay did not accept international credit cards.
>Data was sought from the startup about this account by court order.
There was no court order.

When opensource version of cloud docs/sheets available. Then we will see AWS: X as a Service.
I don't think AWS tries to create any non trivial software.
Take open source software, slap AWS brand on it, and sell it through the ecosystem it has successfully created.
RDS, Document DB, Elastic, EMR and other countless services comes to mind.
This is not true. There is enough precedence where this was successfully disputed. Including by Google and Amazon in India. Would Apple turn in all the records if a police officer asks for any data they seem fit for an investigation?
Re Hindutva:, there is enough literature online to educate you about it. https://cjp.org.in/tag/hindutva/
