If you look at the blodgett book it talks about refining the burr. That india stone is probably about a 300-420 grit. Blodgett's system using 5000, 8000, and 15000 grit to really polish the burr. The more polished it is, the stronger it is and longer it will keep your knife sharp.
I'd start looking for another stone that is finer. You can use it on your knife after the india stone.
BTW, I use his shapton stones every day. I use the 320, 1500, 5000, 8000, and 15000 stones. Pricey, but i need my knives razor sharp for my reeds.
