If India doesn't have to hire expat FOs, so be it. I would guess that expats have been considered a necessary evil in the eyes of locals as long as countries have been doing things which required people their own country couldn't produce fast enough.
If India can get by entirely own their own people, more power to them. But, ultimately I'd place my bets on the motivation of the Almighty Dollar having the final word. When/if India ( or any other country ) couldn't get the job done with local talent, I rather doubt hurt feelings would count for much.
Not picking a fight...just thinking out loud. Just an interesting subject...
