Indian Design - the Missing Link ? Abhilash Chandrasekharan

Every developed nation on earth had a gradual development where the agriculture sector is developed first then Industry, services and finally tourism. Western world had an advantage of this gradual development. This makes them very influential even in modern era. But in India as part of colonisation the westerners brought the industrial development. And India had an uneven growth in different sectors even today. Service sector has overtaken all other industries over there. These factors cost the Country doing a fatal error of neglecting the manufacturing. Since no original product was manufactured there was no requirement for a new design. This cost us loosing the link between the traditional design and the modern mass-produced products. It is very important to find the missing link and to re-establish the evolution of design. Here is an attempt to validate if Indian design is applied to transportation design.
