Flight to Gatwick crashes near airport in Ahmedabad, India,

Gear didn't go up because the engines were shut down first, leading to a loss of power. A lot of power is required to retract the undercarriage. Because of the lack of power the RAT deployed, but it can't generate anything like enough power to retract the undercarriage.

If you are implying that the fuel cutoff switches were accidentally operated instead of the gear, then good luck finding anyone whose ever flown a plane believing that.

To me it sounds like pilot monitoring silently flicked the switches while pilot flying was concentrating on rotating. Pilot flying then realised the loss of thrust and within ten seconds managed to spot and rectify the switches which to me is amazing work. One engine was already regaining thrust but it was too late.

The conversation was probably at the same time or after the switches were rectified. Certainly points to pilot monitoring quietly planning a murder/suicide. Flicked the switches and just sat there denying it.

You're confusing accidentally and deliberately here, they are not the same thing.

wow, that's some news. Didn't expect that, another suicide with mass murder.

I find it weird that they claim they don't know who spoke what. That's almost unbelievable.

Also, is it common in aviation that the pilot with the less experience is the pilot and not the co-pilot? It was the case here. I find this weird too. Anybody knows?

I find it weird that they claim they don't know who spoke what

They don't claim they don't know:

In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff.
The other pilot responded that he did not do so.

The preliminary report doesn't say who said what, but it doesn't claim that is not known either.

Generally speaking, the duties of PF and PM are rotated on each flight, unless some special circumstances mandate that, say, an airport or a particular approach is a "captains only" one. In the case of AI171, the captain would probably have been due to be Pilot Flying on the return leg from LGW to India.

The restrictions in place in many countries lead to mental and sometimes physical health issues being hidden as it is. Making it harder could easily lead to more hidden and untreated instances.

This article highlights the important missing info and just how shoddy and lacking in transparency the Indian report is, no big surprise there and something is clearly being held back:

Did you read your own link?

The preliminary report should

"The Preliminary Report will only identify factual information known at that time "

But the report skips over much information known at this time, including the full transcript of all exchanges withing the cockpit. And the report also includes a speculative note on a SAIB concerning the locking of the switches and called for checks on Indian aircraft fitted with the switches while at the same time FAA have clarified that the bulletin has nothing to do with the accident.

The inclusion of 'selective information' along with important omissions has been widely criticised by industry exports.

but how is that protecting the indian aviation industry? It's just 'protecting' them if they hide some very relevant facts or even telling not what really happened.

I've seen some good videos about it from pilots it's impossible to switch the fuel buttons accidentially. You have to pull them out, turn them and pull them back in, as explained also in this thread numerous times. And, regarding the report, there was only 1 sec between switching one and the next button. That's only possible if a human being did it. So it is kind of fact this was human sabotage from one of the pilots. But still they can't tell the full story. Very weird.
