Peter - I have no doubt of Indias rich culture. I indulge in it reguarly - Vindaloo's and Tusker till my ass wishes it were on another body. The food, a little music and the odd national geographic article about the caste system is all I know mind you.
I would never be so arrogant to assume I know enough as a designer about what would be relevant to market something (since that's ultimatly a function we have as designers) to Indians.
Culture is different, colour theory is different, music is different, clothes are different. Movies are different, food is different. It's a seperate culure and that's a great thing.
I think that article was, a little on the alarmist side. For a journalist to say India (or let's be specific here, Bangalore in in India) is going to start poaching design jobs is fear mongering. And (surprise, surprise) totally naive to what designers acutally do.
My 2 cents.
