Here are the rough steps
1. Go buy a free book from the android ebook store [google.com]. This is done to lock your account into the US. If you've downloaded from the android appstore before then this shouldn't be necessary, but do it just to be safe. If you don't do this, you risk locking your account to India. (If you did lock your account to india, follow the steps here to resolve it)
1b. As a safety precaution, go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings and check under the Country/Region section to make sure it says US. If not, try the ebook thing from step 1 again. If that doesn't work, try adding a US credit card in the "Payment Methods" section of that site and see if it sets the Country to US for you. I recommend only proceeding with the following steps if you are able to lock your Country to the US. If your Country is empty then it will get locked to India after the below steps and you will have to use the steps here to resolve it.
1c. If you want to do a family plan and be extra cautious, add all your family plan members right now before you sign up for youtube india premium. The reason being some users are saying they are having trouble adding family plan users after they do the following steps and try my troubleshooting guide. So the best way to circumvent those issues is to just add the users to your family first. You can add users to your family here [google.com]
2. Get a VPN. I tried Nord but a lot of their indian servers were in saudi arabia, only server 63 and 75 work properly. But tunnel bear worked for me and is free.
3. VPN into india, open youtube, make sure the upper left logo has "IN" next to it. You could also try Argentina for a cheaper price, the steps are largely the same.
4. Click on your avatar in the upper right corner, make sure it says "location: india", then click "purchase and memberships"
5. Click "youtube premium" on the left.
6. Click on the "2 months free" button for the personal plan, or click on "family or student plan" for the family plan.
7. Make sure you pick the subscription option instead of the prepaid option if you picked personal plan. We can't do prepaid with this method.
8. Here's the hard part, put in your american credit card with a random indian address. I used a fast food joint in mumbai. Datapoints suggest that Some chase cards, amex cards, BOA cards, and US bank cards work. If they don't work, use your paypal to generate a paypal key and use that. If paypal key doesn't work, try signing up on your android phone, I hear you don't have to put in the street address on there. Remember to use a card that has 0 foreign transaction fees. If you pay annual fee on your credit card, then there's a high chance they charge 0 foreign transaction fee.
9. Turn off the VPN and enjoy.
PS: Your youtube music front page might have a lot of indian musicians on there, but it should not impact the youtube video site.
PSS: If you are going to add friends/family to your family plan, make sure their accounts are US also. You can do that via the free ebook method in step 1. If their account is from another country, you can't add them.

It is YOUTUBE ADVANCED... But without the "Ad"... So it is just " YouTube Vanced".

YouTube permanently changes the dislike number on The White House's videos after getting tired of deleting dislikes.
If you are not following "ScottyMat10" on YouTube you should!
