hmm I think its like this...
I totally agree with the point that we should buy stuff from India legally but at the same time I agree that they should not charge too much of taxes..
take these examples..
Nokia mobile phones, it was time when there was huge difference in legal nokia phone and grey market phone...
so people used to purchase from grey market and this was loss to government and nokia both...
so nokia reduced the rate or may be government might have reduced taxes..so the difference narrows down...and people go for legal stuff..
so this helps, nokia, government and poeple - makes everyone happy and people do not choose to go for grey market stuff..
now take example of ipods..
shuffle costs around 6K in US for 1 gig memory one...
where in india its around 12K...
so the difference is...double the amount...
so people think that they should go for grey market one...
If government reduces taxes or say ipod reduces rates then people will buy from India...they wont go for grey market one...
so if government can understand this basic funda then I think it will help everyone
