Shell_Kracker commented on In India, Every SF Story Has A Happy Twist Ending

"India has one hell of a mainstream creativity problem. Harry Potter is really popular there, and there are TV shows about witches and wizards in pointy hats - but nothing at all about Indian legends - they even use European style swords in historical films, rather than proper period weapons. In terms of creativity, India could be like Japan - such a wasted potential (from a sci-fi and fantasy fan's perspective at least)."
