as a 14000 hr instructor here in NZ and seen some of the standards of these DGCA licence holders, Watch the accident rate only get worse in India, I believe the DGCA inspectors should be brought up to a honest standard

That's true. The authorities don't have a 'safety first' vision. They have 'pocket first' type narrow vision.
Such rules are against the free trade and open skies policy India adopted. International aviation bodies should have a look at these rules(Licencing & Training) closely as it is in everybody's interest in the long term when more Indian planes take to the skies than ever before.
