So its been more than 2 days and I haven't got any reply on why Pokerstars left those countries without giving any prior notice to them after they told me earlier that they will notify players well in advance should there be any change to the services they offer

This was the mail we received from William Hill Poker(we were told 5 days before they plan to exit India)
"Dear xxx,
We regret to inform you that William Hill has taken a decision to withdraw all of its online betting and gaming services for all residents of IN for the foreseeable future.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you;
however this decision has been taken for regulatory reasons beyond our control.
We will be suspending all accounts of all residents of IN from midday (GMT) 11 December 2013. After this date, you will not be able to use your account to access our online sportsbook, casino or games products."
Betfair reason:
"Thank you for contacting Betfair.
Unfortunately since you are currently residing in India, Poker would not be available to you on our site.
The reason for this is that due to certain laws and legislations we would not be able to provide Poker in India.
May we apologise for any inconvenience caused by this. "
