Ashish i visited the Click Forensic site and there seems to be a lot of discrepancy between the information there and your post.
Click Forensic shows India to be in the medium risk category while you have shown it in high risk category.
Also as per Click Forensic, Monaco has the highest rate of click fraud…not India

@Sun – Moneycontrol site is just too awful. I guess they are trying to contextualize the content around the ads!

Same with Rupya!

Check out this site, Rupya.com, fully optimized for Google with almost no content. The webmaster inserts a pop-up which appears directly above Google Ad. When someone tries to dismiss it, they accidentally click on Google Ad.

Another site is Moneycontrol.com. Ads are embedded like Landmines… this is why click-fraud [if clicks don't get converted, advertisers call it fraud ]

I think this is why we see low CPC and eCPM on sites with Indian content. The question is, what can legit Indian Publishers and Ad networks do about it? Google needs to get rid of this problem as soon as this can. It is a problem for the advertisers as well as gives bad PR.
