Also, all those who want India to become the next 'Manufacturer of the World, have you considered the great environmental costs it will come at. It will be 10 times worse than China just because it is India and we know how corrupt Indians are.
In my state, Himachal Pradesh, they decided to setup an SEZ at Baddi and it became a hub for pharma industry. Within a few years, the ground water of the town has become poison. When investigated, they found many illegal borewells inside factories where these companies were just dumping all their waste without any treatment. Tanneries in Kanpur have been dumping their untreated waste in Ganga for decades now. So, if the lesson we are learning from this whole Coronavirus crisis is that we should go on destroying nature and become the next manufacturing hub, then that's definitely the wrong lesson, IMHO.
