I just found a way to enable Google assistant in android marshmallow and above on the internet. Don't know if it has been shared here before. Considering it only is available for US and some other locations right now, it's working really well except for some features like News etc. Which haven't yet been optimised for Indian users.

Google itself said that it will come to Android 6 automatically. So they activated it

The Google Assistant is coming to Marshmallow and Nougat Android phones starting this week

Yes but is it available for phones in India? Might come formally by the end of this year maybe.

It should work if you change region and language just like we did in cortana when it was not available in India.

You also said that results are not relevant to India anyway.

Yep, change language to English (US), and sign up for beta Google App and Google Play services. Install two updates of approx. 28 MB each for the two apps, restart phone and hold home key.
The news feature is still not optimised but rest all works fine, like general inquiries, day planner, information about booked flights from your gmail, movies, social networks, calling, text etc.
