I have not made an actual count, but I am pretty sure the number of India-specific articles far outnumbers the non-Indian-specific articles.
Having lived on several different continents and in a fair bit of different countries, I find it immensely useful to keep a broad view of the world around you. Not just cars, but just about anything. Politics, weather, culture, music, you name it
If you believe in the value of lateral thinking, you absolutely need to open up to the world around you. The only way to broaden your mind, learn as much as you can about the world around you. You don't need to agree with everything, you don't need to understand everything, but it is useful te be aware.
Let me share some thoughts from a famous historical Scholar: Comenius Quote:
Comenius, who was born in 1592 in what is known today as the Czech Republic, was himself the classic example of the ‘homo universalis’: the founder of modern pedagogy. His educational ideas are still used throughout the world.
When Komensky wrote his masterpiece Labyrinth of the World in 1623, he imagined the world as a city whose streets represent the different streams in society. Although the separate streams seemed clear and unambiguous in their behaviour, disorder and alienation prevailed in the city; the people at street level just could not see the other streams. Comenius advised his readers to climb a tower and to observe from there the chaos and folly, but also the interconnectedness of the different streams.
These observations are according to Comenius the basis for science, wisdom and effective decision-making. The ability to first see and observe and think inductively, to interpret and subsequently understand is essential to Comenius’ vision and legacy. This ability is the only thing, he states, that can lead our intellect to wisdom and insight.

Do you want to be well-informed about the Indian car scene? Personally, just my opinion, of course, you also need to look at the automotive industry at a Global level. It is a global world, and India is an increasingly more important and relevant part of it. So I advise everybody to climb that tower!
Just my opinion / thoughts of course.
