'cause modern indians cannot design anything right or wrong. They enjoy being 'coolies' of the global tech world. They know how to copy,memorize and present simple things with great drama.
I read an article sometime back by an American journalist about how these sewer covers are made by labourers swaeting it out in sub human conditions in West Bengal...they handle the ultra hot molten iron with bare chests without any protection !! The owners make all the money...
There is a price to everything.
