Keying this blog from a Dell laptop in itself is a joke!
I come from an unfortunately small group of people who considered the trade bans as a boon in disguise to Indian entrepreneurs. The only chapter in whole of One Night @ Call Centre that I really liked and appreciated was the one in which Mr. Bhagat analyzes how we were crazed by so-called world class goods, but they considered us as a "market" where they could sell off their excess produce, or recover from their lost market. http://ibnlive.in.com/blogs/soumyadipchoudhury/2805/62258/dear-steve-jobs-why-have-you-forsaken-india.html
Our open border is a gateway for third-rate goods. We have statistics that in a single year, a country exported more batteries than its cumulative battery production over the years. Why to blame the open borders, when WE, those very Indians who buy these good are the root cause of all blame. To top it all, when we know that those goods are really 3rd rate, and worse when we know that those goods are not made in India, and are killing our small-scale industries.
To save a few bucks, (which we spend in junk food joints anyways) we are putting our country's economy at stake.
