Why is it titled India's answer to Google Glass? Possible explanations: 1. The editors know that Indians are susceptible to jingoistic patriotism. "Wow Indians did this? Really?" 2. The editors think that Indians as a collective are not a piece of the flat world and their accomplishments are more surprising than routine. 3. Now that China has pulled itself close to developed nations, India represents "The Third World Asian Country".

I am not offended. IMO all of the above are true. But I guess it can't be too hard to refer a product by the company name rather than the whole nation.



I think it is condescending to associate a product with a country and not the company.
