You are dumb. This is Amazon wanting to sell to Indians clearly the largest middle class in the world. The shipping costs from US are prohibitive ($54 for 4 10 goods). Amazon clearly wnats to supply that market.

Greed happens to be the business model standard set since 1976 & the US is the industry leader. Or haven't you heard the 'pop' lately?
