"Many other 3rd world countries such as India and others do not have the
capability of providing a national criminal. Some individuals live in
remote area, where what happens is a tribal affair, the punishment is to
be banned from the tribe. Where will you find that record?...Ask
Pakistan and India if they have criminal record searches. They will
tell you NO, the background screening companies in India verify
employment and education not criminal records.
So if the companies in those countries tell you it is illegal and not
possible to do criminal records, what makes American companies do
otherwise."

The criminal records in INDIA are available at
the police station level having jurisdiction over the given residential
address in the remote places in India.
In bigger towns/cities the records are available at the police station
level and also at the police commissionarate level and in some places the
records are also computerised.
