India's geography means it can never be an efficient manufacturing economy. India has some of the worst coastlines in the world. Despite it's length, Indian coastlines have few to no natural deep water harbors. This increases the cost of transport for things made in India 1/5🧵

@clary_co MsTikoo has Indian citizenship. India is open to all kinds of criticism, has an independent media and civil society. Have learnt the hard way that foreigners showing 'concern' for Indian issues is loaded with implications not in the best interest of the India. MsKaul is British.
