But what's the alternative? There isn't any other solution proposed by any board to replace this non sense DLS. Apart from DLS there are eyebrows on DRS also. Many times board are caught of manipulating the system to have results of there own.

One of the reasons why the BCCI opposed DRS for so long. Previously the Indian team used to get the benefit from umpires, when the matches are being played in India. But with the DRS getting implemented, this advantage evaporated. Still there is a loophole called "umpire's call" which can be manipulated by the home team. I am fully in favor of DRS, but we need to remove this loophole. Otherwise the DRS has done a lot of good things to cricket. Detection of no-ball and reversal of inaccurate decisions help in a big way.

Lol that's a weird one, forgetting neutral umpire's ruling?

Also i do remember famous Bucknor and couple of others who loved to raise fingers at any given time when Indians were batting.

At start BCCI was under impression that it's a flowed tech and locally their players had no experience, it's more similar to their initial reluctance for Day-Night (pink ball) matches.

i would say it was a mix of all, BCCI thought that this might be another trap for the Australians and the England cricket board, and i think it is understandable why they thought like that
in my memory, that was the time when India visited Australia for that infamous test series where the umpiring was absolutely horrible and some decisions were given against India which were not even close to being accurate at all
as well as that, the umpire was seen asking the Australian players if the batsman was out or not and the Australian players replied "yes" and the umpire also raised his finger to show his approval
