Where do I find the country of India census records?
I have tried the FamilySearch Library catalog, FamilySearch Wiki, Ancestry.com, FindMyPast. The information stated that the country started the census in 1871. Where is that census? Or others?

It's entirely possible that those records are not publicly available. For example, Hungary has decennial censuses from which the enumeration forms are purposely and statutorily destroyed after tabulation.

If you are thinking of Censuses similar to the US or UK Censuses, where people are individually listed, certainly no such records exist online for India. As far as I am aware, they do not exist at all. I think there are some Report volumes, summarising the particular Censuses, but these do not have any individuals details.
There is a page on the FIBIS Fibiwiki about Censuses, but unfortunately this website is either very slow, or non accessible currently, but you might be able to access it. https://wiki.fibis.org/w/Main_Page
