Yes. I know. Its very hard to find any kind of aquarium product in India. After searching for 3 months I couldn't find a single fishkeeper who even heard about tahitian black moon. At last I give up.
Perhaps you could find some black blasting sand. You would want #20 grit or #12 grit, and it is normally relatively inexpensive. You can get it wherever sand blasting supplies are sold.
