India is cheaper because all the research and development and legal liability is on western countries. Especially, the USA and Switzerland

[@chrislong1287]

@draftee the white tr@$h f@ggot actually the average total compensation is about 300000. With the highest paid ceos, including stock options is over 20 million. It takes an average of 12 years and 2 billion dollars to bring a drug to market. Then you add that only 10 percent of drugs pass clinical trials. That’s 90% failure rate once a drug makes it to the clinic. That does not account for the drugs that fail before even making it to human trials. So from start to finish only a fraction of a percentage make it to markets. Usually a new chemical entity is granted a 20 year patent. So they usually have less than 10 years left on the patent to make all that money back, before generics can be made. So the ceo salary is a drop in the bucket. The USA and some other western nations (particularly Switzerland) take the brunt of these costs. India and other Asian countries don’t have to robust research so they rely on the west

In this time of war in Ukraine, sanctions on Russian super-rich oligarchs and India's stance on Russia - you may be interested in this historical story about how Britain's industrial revolution and wealth was directly correlated with the British looting, pauperization and deindustrialization of India which I have been telling the British [where I live]: Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' [the Hindi word for plunder] as the richest [non-monarch] man in Europe (Open University online estimates his 'loot' at £100 million at today's rates). His East India Co. mafiosi henchmen became the new super-rich 'nobs' (from nawabs/'nabobs') and often bought up parliamentary seats - the Pitt family made their fortune looting India. Meanwhile, 1/3 of the population of Bengal Province [inc. modern Orissa and Bihar] - some 10 million died in the Great Bengal Famine of 1770 due to the rapacity of the Brits. Richard Becher [relative of William M. Thackeray] had predicted this 'Ruin of Bengal' which had been the richest province in Mughal India [which had 27% of global GDP before British occupation]. The Ruin of Bengal also led to economic crisis in Europe as dozens of banks collapsed in days as looted Indian wealth dried up for a while and Adam Smith had to delay his 'Wealth of Nations'. As research published by Columbia UP showed in 2018, the British stole some US$45 Trillion from India over two centuries which financed the Industrial Revolution and much else in Britain and its white settler colonies [see Jason Hickel's article on Al Jazeera online which also discusses how Britain lies about this history]. They also killed tens of millions of Indians by exporting India's foodgrains for British Food Security and profit including the setting up of Death Camps which gave less starvation rations than Buchenwald for hard labour to victims of the 1877 Madras Famine killing 94% of inmates - 7 million in total died [whilst record amounts of exports of Indian foodgrains lowered prices for Westerners]. George Orwell wrote (The Road to Wigan Pier) that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live the way that they do. The British also deindustrialized India which had dominated manufacturing exports in textiles. H.H. Wilson wrote in 1853 that Manchester and Paisley could not have risen, even with steam power without the systematic elimination of competition from cheaper and superior Indian handloom cottons. This included the breaking of weavers' fingers and the cutting off of thumbs of weavers of Dhaka Muslin [a highly-prized elite cloth which which cost many times the price of silk] as well as tariff barriers and creating a Captive Market for British goods. Governor General William Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. In the 1790s English experts declared Indian Wootz the best steel in the world and Sheffield copied its techniques but Indian steelmaking was stifled to suppress competition. India had been a major shipbuilder and continued to be in the early British-rule - the oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy is HMS Trincomalee built in 1817 by an Indian company in Bombay of superior Indian teak. But soon afterwards, British shipbuilders stopped shipbuilding competition in India. As Shashi Tharoor tells us in Inglorious Empire, Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives and thus the Brits stopped such manufacturing as well. Even during the 1939-45 war [when British Empire admirer Hitler wanted to make Ukraine and Russia Germany's 'India'], the British refused US plans to make aircraft factories in India (to fight Japan) as they did not want an independent India postwar to compete. After the war the British [and the postwar USA - following George Kennan's strategy of holding Asia down as poor compared to the West - whilst giving Marshall Aid to redevelop Europe] refused to help India build a steelmill at Bhilai saying stick to your traditional raw materials! The Brits created the First World/Third World schism and tried to maintain it. It was the USSR that stepped in and helped build Bhilai. They also helped build India's first Institute of Technology at Kharagpur. This - not arms sales is what led to the strong Indo-Soviet and then Indo-Russian partnership and friendship! In 1971 the USA and UK sent warships to support the Pakistani dictator perpetrating the largest genocide since 1945, killing 3 million in East Bengal. It was the Soviet Navy that warned off the USS Enterprise and Soviet threats to attack China stopped Mao from attacking India in support of Pakistan.

Your point about India needing to reduce dependence on China has been partially answered by a recent govt policy called PLI’s (production linked incentives). They cover many fields including API’s (active pharma ingredients) where China has a near monopoly vis a vis India. The policy aims to provide credits to manufacturers commensurate to sales to help plug the cost gap with China. Interesting you didn’t talk about India’s role and success with manufacturing covid vaccines, particularly Astrazeneca which is mass manufactured in Pune. Insightful video overall!!!

answered is the not the right word. Answered would be when that dependance has been reduced. Whether this policy produces the desired result remains to be seen.

Implementation and market environment are all important.

In this time of war in Ukraine, sanctions on Russian super-rich oligarchs and India's stance on Russia - you may be interested in this historical story about how Britain's industrial revolution and wealth was directly correlated with the British looting, pauperization and deindustrialization of India which I have been telling the British [where I live]: Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' [the Hindi word for plunder] as the richest [non-monarch] man in Europe (Open University online estimates his 'loot' at £100 million at today's rates). His East India Co. mafiosi henchmen became the new super-rich 'nobs' (from nawabs/'nabobs') and often bought up parliamentary seats - the Pitt family made their fortune looting India. Meanwhile, 1/3 of the population of Bengal Province [inc. modern Orissa and Bihar] - some 10 million died in the Great Bengal Famine of 1770 due to the rapacity of the Brits. Richard Becher [relative of William M. Thackeray] had predicted this 'Ruin of Bengal' which had been the richest province in Mughal India [which had 27% of global GDP before British occupation]. The Ruin of Bengal also led to economic crisis in Europe as dozens of banks collapsed in days as looted Indian wealth dried up for a while and Adam Smith had to delay his 'Wealth of Nations'. As research published by Columbia UP showed in 2018, the British stole some US$45 Trillion from India over two centuries which financed the Industrial Revolution and much else in Britain and its white settler colonies [see Jason Hickel's article on Al Jazeera online which also discusses how Britain lies about this history]. They also killed tens of millions of Indians by exporting India's foodgrains for British Food Security and profit including the setting up of Death Camps which gave less starvation rations than Buchenwald for hard labour to victims of the 1877 Madras Famine killing 94% of inmates - 7 million in total died [whilst record amounts of exports of Indian foodgrains lowered prices for Westerners]. George Orwell wrote (The Road to Wigan Pier) that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live the way that they do. The British also deindustrialized India which had dominated manufacturing exports in textiles. H.H. Wilson wrote in 1853 that Manchester and Paisley could not have risen, even with steam power without the systematic elimination of competition from cheaper and superior Indian handloom cottons. This included the breaking of weavers' fingers and the cutting off of thumbs of weavers of Dhaka Muslin [a highly-prized elite cloth which which cost many times the price of silk] as well as tariff barriers and creating a Captive Market for British goods. Governor General William Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. In the 1790s English experts declared Indian Wootz the best steel in the world and Sheffield copied its techniques but Indian steelmaking was stifled to suppress competition. India had been a major shipbuilder and continued to be in the early British-rule - the oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy is HMS Trincomalee built in 1817 by an Indian company in Bombay of superior Indian teak. But soon afterwards, British shipbuilders stopped shipbuilding competition in India. As Shashi Tharoor tells us in Inglorious Empire, Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives and thus the Brits stopped such manufacturing as well. Even during the 1939-45 war [when British Empire admirer Hitler wanted to make Ukraine and Russia Germany's 'India'], the British refused US plans to make aircraft factories in India (to fight Japan) as they did not want an independent India postwar to compete. After the war the British [and the postwar USA - following George Kennan's strategy of holding Asia down as poor compared to the West - whilst giving Marshall Aid to redevelop Europe] refused to help India build a steelmill at Bhilai saying stick to your traditional raw materials! The Brits created the First World/Third World schism and tried to maintain it. It was the USSR that stepped in and helped build Bhilai. They also helped build India's first Institute of Technology at Kharagpur. This - not arms sales is what led to the strong Indo-Soviet and then Indo-Russian partnership and friendship! In 1971 the USA and UK sent warships to support the Pakistani dictator perpetrating the largest genocide since 1945, killing 3 million in East Bengal. It was the Soviet Navy that warned off the USS Enterprise and Soviet threats to attack China stopped Mao from attacking India in support of Pakistan.

[@rahulpal2490]

We may be Hindus, but we aren't retarded. Auyrveda can work, it's a science based in preventing, unlike westen which is targeting symptoms. Unless we put same R&D on ayurveda it will remain a niche, won't be main stream. And don't listen to idiots who say, " maybe in villages." Cause everyone including the very remote areas use western drugs.

[@YashendraShuklaTheOG]

Under the quackery of Ayurveda (which is supported by central and state government programs), these "medicines" are prescribed with actual medicines. Unlike in other countries since doctors are cheap, most people visit multiple, and then take a combination of actual medicines and alternative medicines. My father for instance has been taking a pill for his BP every morning for a decade, but also a bunch of Homeopathic, and one Ayurveda capsule. But he credits the Homeopathic sugar pill for keeping his BP under control, not the miracle of science that he's been taking every day.

In this time of war in Ukraine, sanctions on Russian super-rich oligarchs and India's stance on Russia - you may be interested in this historical story about how Britain's industrial revolution and wealth was directly correlated with the British looting, pauperization and deindustrialization of India which I have been telling the British [where I live]: Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' [the Hindi word for plunder] as the richest [non-monarch] man in Europe (Open University online estimates his 'loot' at £100 million at today's rates). His East India Co. mafiosi henchmen became the new super-rich 'nobs' (from nawabs/'nabobs') and often bought up parliamentary seats - the Pitt family made their fortune looting India. Meanwhile, 1/3 of the population of Bengal Province [inc. modern Orissa and Bihar] - some 10 million died in the Great Bengal Famine of 1770 due to the rapacity of the Brits. Richard Becher [relative of William M. Thackeray] had predicted this 'Ruin of Bengal' which had been the richest province in Mughal India [which had 27% of global GDP before British occupation]. The Ruin of Bengal also led to economic crisis in Europe as dozens of banks collapsed in days as looted Indian wealth dried up for a while and Adam Smith had to delay his 'Wealth of Nations'. As research published by Columbia UP showed in 2018, the British stole some US$45 Trillion from India over two centuries which financed the Industrial Revolution and much else in Britain and its white settler colonies [see Jason Hickel's article on Al Jazeera online which also discusses how Britain lies about this history]. They also killed tens of millions of Indians by exporting India's foodgrains for British Food Security and profit including the setting up of Death Camps which gave less starvation rations than Buchenwald for hard labour to victims of the 1877 Madras Famine killing 94% of inmates - 7 million in total died [whilst record amounts of exports of Indian foodgrains lowered prices for Westerners]. George Orwell wrote (The Road to Wigan Pier) that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live the way that they do. The British also deindustrialized India which had dominated manufacturing exports in textiles. H.H. Wilson wrote in 1853 that Manchester and Paisley could not have risen, even with steam power without the systematic elimination of competition from cheaper and superior Indian handloom cottons. This included the breaking of weavers' fingers and the cutting off of thumbs of weavers of Dhaka Muslin [a highly-prized elite cloth which which cost many times the price of silk] as well as tariff barriers and creating a Captive Market for British goods. Governor General William Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. In the 1790s English experts declared Indian Wootz the best steel in the world and Sheffield copied its techniques but Indian steelmaking was stifled to suppress competition. India had been a major shipbuilder and continued to be in the early British-rule - the oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy is HMS Trincomalee built in 1817 by an Indian company in Bombay of superior Indian teak. But soon afterwards, British shipbuilders stopped shipbuilding competition in India. As Shashi Tharoor tells us in Inglorious Empire, Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives and thus the Brits stopped such manufacturing as well. Even during the 1939-45 war [when British Empire admirer Hitler wanted to make Ukraine and Russia Germany's 'India'], the British refused US plans to make aircraft factories in India (to fight Japan) as they did not want an independent India postwar to compete. After the war the British [and the postwar USA - following George Kennan's strategy of holding Asia down as poor compared to the West - whilst giving Marshall Aid to redevelop Europe] refused to help India build a steelmill at Bhilai saying stick to your traditional raw materials! The Brits created the First World/Third World schism and tried to maintain it. It was the USSR that stepped in and helped build Bhilai. They also helped build India's first Institute of Technology at Kharagpur. This - not arms sales is what led to the strong Indo-Soviet and then Indo-Russian partnership and friendship! In 1971 the USA and UK sent warships to support the Pakistani dictator perpetrating the largest genocide since 1945, killing 3 million in East Bengal. It was the Soviet Navy that warned off the USS Enterprise and Soviet threats to attack China stopped Mao from attacking India in support of Pakistan.

[@nizammiah6511]

@@shreyastripathi1927 As OP mentioned, there are medicines imported from India (Bangladeshis also contribute billions to India's economy through medical tourism as local options are limited/untrusted) But Bangladesh also has a very robust domestic infrastructure when it comes to producing generics and does indeed have the capabilities of meeting its internal demands - which has been reasonably enough to satiate growth for a market of 170M people. The challenge it faces is that it has very limited competitive edge for growth because India and China produces everything Bangladesh does at a much larger scale and at a more competitive price. Bangladesh is also due to lose its GSP status which allows it to export to the EU under 0 duties (current global exports are $130M, which is a tiny segment of total exports). The issue of innovation that encompassed India is far worse in Bangladesh, as the last couple decades have resulted in very small investments in R&D and talented individuals tend to move overseas - though large companies such as Beximco and Square have realised this and are shifting their practices but time will tell if BD can get onto the ladder

Two key points; first, the US and EU have a array of cooperative protectionist barriers against Indian produced pharmaceuticals. As a result, Indian pharmaceutical companies struggle to gain market share in the developed West, and MSM coverage of India's huge pharmaceuticals industry is relentlessly negative. Secondly, according to Delhi's own trade data, 80% of the raw materials used by Indian pharmaceutical companies are now imported from China. China is India's #1 trade partner, and for Indian's pharmaceuticals industry, this trade relationship benefits millions of Indians and people around the world who could not afford high priced Western brand pharmaceuticals even if they were readily available in their countries.
