    What does it mean that .in domains are country specific? Will they not be shown in google.co.uk etc?

    it is more difficult to rank a country specific domain outside of that country.

    It is EXTREMELY more difficult to rank a country specific domain on other Google datacentres like Google.com and Google.co.uk.. however, it is still do-able.
    It just takes more time.. What you can also do is set that your domain is international within Google Webmaster tools - then it will be picked up by all data centers.

    Google sees a country specific domain as more important in that countries local Google search engine - in your instance the Indian version of Google
