Note that Notion Press and Pothi.com being commercial organizations seem to have processes that quickly add new books on their web stores to Google Search indexing data. Perhaps it will take some more days before the non-commercial sites of archive.org and openlibrary.org which already have my free PDF ebook put up on their sites, appear in such Google search results.

I have done my bit. The book with views of mine and other contributors is out there. Whether people who are interested in improving teaching and practice of software development in Indian CS & IT academia care to read the book or not, is their choice. Of course, even if they read it, they may not agree with many of the views in the book. That's fine by me :-).
