India (and desis) leverage the common people's lack of knowledge and insight about India and Indians to OVER-EXAGGERATE India's capabilities, to "pull-a-fast-one-over-foreigners", and thus gain advantage. Unfortunately for them, more and more foreigners are uncovering the lies and half-lies. The truth is..... the myth of their "super-brains"..... the fantasy of their industry mastery.... cooked up religious fanatics.... bharat dictatorship over unwilling serfdoms.... their un-mighty military..... the IT revolution that never was..... hundreds of millions of Dalits, minorities, poor suffering.....
Decades ago, I too gave them too much benefit-of-the-doubt. It wasn't until I witnessed with my own eyes, and my fascination about their unique culture and 'business-style' increased dramatically. From then I have become a huge expert on India, Indian industry and capabilities (or lack of), and their psychological mentality.
Take this one small example. Tata and Reliance Industries are the two largest conglomerates in India, with Tata being the larger of the too. Yet what Tata can boast about is limited to: oil refining, junk autos ("their" heavy-trucks is Korea's Daewoo), tea (bought British Tetley), 'body-shopper' TCS, miscellaneous stuff, and a digitial wristwatch. And I seriously doubt they even have the domestic capability to manufacture a wristwatch, much less design one. If India cannot even domestically produce something as simple as a cheap digital wristwatch you see selling at Walmart, then how do you expect anything more advance from them?
