Let's assume that I am not a citizen of India but I want to buy a .in domain name:
Is there a guarantee that I'll never lose the right to own my domain name provided I pay the domain registration bills on time?
Prior to 2005, .in domain names were not available to register if outside of India. But after 2005, they became available to register for everyone. I am concerned that it's possible in the future that .in domain names will be made unavailable to people outside of India again, or be made available for an unreasonably high price, thereby forcing me to lose ownership of the domain name I have owned and marketed for many years.

As @closetnoc mentioned, the worse case is losing the domain name. Other than that, there is a chance getting penalized by Google if the content of your website is not related to India or Indians.
There is a huge risk depending on your niche and what is permissible by the laws of said country.
The worst that can happen is getting your domain confiscated, depending on the content you could get sued or tried. You should know what extradition treaties your countries has with the countries you are buying your domain name from.
You often need to prove that you are a resident of the countries in particular before being allowed to register, this varies alot depending on what ccTLD you want.
