Trapped in India

Yesterday while searching for cars on the web, I realized all I can get in 2k pounds is trash in comparison to what I can get anywhere in Europe or for that matter in Malaysia or Singapore.
That sucks big time.
Duty etc on import is fine as long as government sees an upcoming industry, except favoring tatas who are word number 1 in selling outdated technology and copying things (the safari looks).
The famous tata truck where does the engine is copied from ? if that is the way government wants us to go then fine, but we want the right to get what we want if it can't be produced here and no efforts are being made in that direction.
one very easily have a good BMW in about 10000 pounds, but if he/she want to import it there its heavy duty on it as if importing a BMW is going to somehow affect a wonderful HM industry or Esteem.If that is the cause let alone allowing Merc and Bmw assembly units its anyways worthless paying dbl the price .
