There is already a longer thread in the mailing list about your
question. If you aren't subscribed, you can see it here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/11/msg00988.html
And oh, if you are not subscribed, please tell us to keep you in
copy, so you don't miss any annswers).

Well, those are two questions:
Archives:
the other archives in India: I don't know about the reachability of
those archives. I asked just to find out wheter it could be that this
one specific archive is down *or* whether you have more generic
network problems. Since now you tried several archives, if I were in
your place I'd try to find out whether your freshly installed VM has
access to the Internet at all. Pick one of the archives which failed:
can you access it from your browser?
Debian vs Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, specially aimed at desktop users who
have less experience with Unix/Linux. Some tools are more polished,
some packages are newer. If you really want to tinker, Debian offers
more possibilities. That said, the differences are not that big, and
there are many tinkerers using Ubuntu and many "end-users" using
Debian. It's free software, that means that each project can (and
does) pick good things from the other. Since Debian is an open
distribution, there are many Debian derivatives.
