Walmart in India? one of the most incongruent pictures I can imagine....
On the other hand , how ironic , getting all those Indians to purchase all that cheap Chinese junk . China , the country that ,along with Pakistan, India has the most to fear from .
Maybe that is the PRC strategy? To addict all of its’ future enemies to its’ cheapo and overwhelmingly abundant goods first?

You can’t stop the mart....ha. If they can get that market, they’re a government in themselves. Would be interesting to have bought mart when it was first offered. Talk about being rich.

The Bentonville, Ark.-based retail giant’s attempt to enter India’s highly protected retail sector has sparked howls of protest from leftist politicians and small-scale retailers, who fear the impact of competition on the country’s 12 million mom and pop shops, which hold 97% of the market.

The ethic in India is way different than in other capitalistic societies. Indians believe in full employment even if extremely menial. Killing mom and pop shops will get Wal-Mart in India boycotted like crazy.
