This will be the normal state in India too if we buckle to US lobbying and capitalist pressure. There is extraordinary and continuous (every-day) compulsion on Indian diplomats, trade officials and politicians to keep expanding the scope of the Patents Act, reduce the scope of generics, and decrease the 'innovation threshold' of what can be patented so as to allow continuous ever-greening of drugs. I am not confident that the Indian government can withstand this in the long term.
