Nothing is Indian, Chinese or American these days. We are global village. No country barring one or two can go self reliant and manufacture even a missile without using significant hardware procured from outside (though it feels pleasurable when a politician tingles your patriotic soft nerve saying we are self reliant).
Go maufecture a satellite without Korean or US made miniature components or write its code in sanskrit inspired shlokas, you can’t. Humara nuclear reactor, humara missile , humari vaccine, humari local cars all are to please your that nerve. Yes quality of manufacturing differs. In India it’s difficult to get SUSTAINED quality from most brands. Most of Indian cars brands have USP of best roadside assistance and wide street side repair workshops, precisely because these are cars we find mostly stranded on road. Yes I am talking about Tata cars, Mahindra and Maruti. This all is because we are not bothered about quality of service at human level.
A bolt or bearing in my car can be of best quality but its fitment will be done casually by a stressed bidi smoking man at shop floor who has been recently harassed by his boss. All this we accept because of the same ‘who cares?’ attitude. This goes for most of the thing we manufecture. Finally a middle class person saving earnings to buy a phone or car must have option to same quality of product as any consumer any where globally. Middle class Indians have been long blackmailed to go for substandard products in name of patriotism. While same people who preach this, buy expansive imported cars, phones, suits, watches, teleprompters and even planes.
