What the US essentially did was exactly this. That country made a media hype first and then evaluated the best answer to the problem that could encounter. And provided the best solutionfor it.
India must also start doing such experiments as that might be required in the future time. We must also see to it that our functioning satellite are not targetted. And if targetted, we must be able to maneuver our satellites out.
But have we got that many satellites to make these costly target Practice?

First of all we have a very few satellites stationed in outer space. And even if we decide to take one down then god please save our people. After seeing the recent results of the agni launches and the satelite launch failure it will be a very risky option to try,
But, shall we not get ready with our missiles to shoot down some of those which have not been functioning right now or would not function in near future?
The Government must be thinking in this line. But the decision would be very heavy, knowing fully well that we are not China to withstand that enormous pressure, that will result out of such decision.
