You can create a separate method to bind country dropdown-

C#

public static SelectList GetCountries(int selected = 0)
       {
           return new SelectList(Repository.Instance.All<country>(), "Id", "Name", selected);
       }</country>

C#

@Html.DropDownListFor(x=>x.CountryId,GetCountries(x.CountryId),"[Select]")

The method return type is SelectList so you just need to pass the Id of India in GetCountries method as parameter.

another way you can add all the items into list except India and then insert India at position 0 or add India as first row in your database table, or create a column int_Order in your database table and user OrderBy clause.

1.First you should filter out "India" from your selection by using WHERE condition in your fist select (all countries except India);

2.Then, by using a similar select (but this time in your WHERE clause select only India), you should insert (add in the first position) "India" as first item in your "usrModel.Countries";

3.Here is how the code should look like:

C#

List<Country> tempList = snwe.Countries.Where(c=>c.CountryShort != "IN").ToList();
Country indiaEntry = snwe.Countries.Where(c => c.CountryShort == "IN").FirstOrDefault();
//
if(indiaEntry  != null)
   tempList.Insert(0, indiaEntry); 
//
usrModel.Countries = tempList.Select(C => new SelectListItem
{
Text = C.Country1,
Value = C.CountryID.ToString()
});

The code is given below
usrModel.Countries = snwe.Countries.Where(c=>c.CountryShort != "IN").AsEnumerable().Select(C => new SelectListItem
{
Text = C.Country1,
Value = C.CountryID.ToString()
});
usrModel.Countries = snwe.Countries.Where(c => c.CountryShort == "IN").AsEnumerable().Select(C => new SelectListItem
{
Text = C.Country1,
Value = C.CountryID.ToString()
});

You should modify you code by using a temp List<"YourCountryEntity"> for storing the results from first Select, then Insert into this list the result from 2nd list (for India) and finally save the results from the list into "usrModel.Countries".
