They have? I read a couple of blogs by Desis criticizing this cartoon. I actually liked it, it basically says never underestimate.

If I remember right, the cartoon or the article was written by a Chinku.

I remember similar attitudes when Japanese were into the consumer market and also when Chinese started to get involved.

This is the usual attitude of declining cultures.  

The Priyanka Ganduis, Mani Shankar Aiyers and Robert Vadras will end up eating their words.

(Who is Smiti Irani?  Modi will never be the PM but he can serve Tea if he wants to! Mango men in a banana republic!).

>>.Yeah, I don't think it was meant to offend, but rather a jibe at the smugness of the West thinking that there is no competition. This is one of the reasons for the auto industry being asleep at the wheel without seeing what was brewing in japan.
