I truly believe that India isn't an homogeneous mass and there will be takers for products I mentioned in the post. Also as smartphones penetrate India all issues you point out will be non issues. Im not saying it will happen today but 2-3 years or 5 years depends on how optimistic you are. @bazee while many of your points are relevant I also think they are short sighted.
