1. India used to have a ton of restrictions and some communist leanings. India changed all that in the 1990's, and the economy improved. I've read things like they didn't use currency in trading, and trades had to include Indian products or the trade wouldn't happen. I'm sorta hazy on it, but it was a real assinine system at any rate. There was also a huge beauracracy requiring too much paperwork and seeking bribes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_India
