The problem with this sort of nationalism is that it&#x27;s all talk. No one offers an alternative solution, so the poor continue to be poor. This attitude is what creates trade barriers and protectionist policies, and India won&#x27;t solve their problems until they can compete with other nations on manufacturing and prices. The reality is that, unless you are able to keep up with modern tooling you&#x27;re just going to keep falling farther and farther behind on quality and competitiveness. If India wants to improve the futures of a billion people, bold macro-economic changes have to be taken.
