Seems fine as long as you treat whole EU as a single country otherwise, it seems unfair to people from other countries.

Just because a country is huge population wise shouldn't be consideration in who to employ.

India is diverse, it has many states with different culture and even color/looks on people.

India is more like EU and individual states are more like European countries like Germany, Netherlands. There only have very little in common with each other.

I really doubt you can identify a person from India just based on how he looks.

History is proof when meritocracy has been shunned because of these government policies, or nepotism - local companies and economy has always lost.
