Pro trader from italy

#1
Good day from Italy,
I have been trading the markets (nowadays mainly european and US derivatives) from 2001.
Only recently i became interested in the Indian markets due to its growing size and liquidity.
A few months ago I've read that foreign investors are now allowed to trade Indian markets as well.
I would appreciate very much if someone could post some links or advise concerning the following subjects:
1) Best banks/brokerage (in terms of financial security, internet connection reliability, commissions)
2) Government rules for investors fund protection in case a brokerage goes bankrupt
I will be glad to share my trading experience with any of you who might be interested.
Thanks for your kind help
