More exporting of American customs and culture.

Tattoo parlors are already on the rise as well!
KFC and McDonald's will leave it's deathly mark sooner than they would like.
Progress?

"the price of an entry-level Harley-Davidson bike in India is expected to be $14,000"

Good luck selling that when you can get a Tata for $2500
