    Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

But the reason I came with these thoughts is because I noticed in another thread that some people could decide to go for an Indian product (motorcycle or any product) because they seem to care about India's economy (since buying an Indian product would help the cause). I found this to be a pretty interesting point of view though I may not agree to it
        but u see even if u r buying a imported product u r paying almost 200% taxes on the product to indian govt
        if u r still buying products which r foriegn company but produced here its still indian because its indian labour and indian down stream industries
        and only the technology is from out side
        more over if any indian makes any hi-fi technology he is selling it to a foriegn company as the indian companys are not paying for that kind of r&d and technolgy
        the big automotive players of india are more concentrated towaRDs copying from outside than making it here
        with bigger powers comes bigger responsibilities

Why? Because my deed would act as a tacit acceptance of the poor business sense of the Indian company and provide no kick in the pants to it as an impetus to improve.

          Good point :-)
