I haven't made sweeping generalizations - nowhere have I said that all Indian research is bogus. However there is a tendency in many institutions towards letting plagiarism go unchecked - which affects the quality of research produced.
That each of us on this list knows one or two institutions that hold themselves to higher standards doesn't mean we don't also know many that couldn't care less for integrity in research. I am pretty confident that a majority (i.e. mostly) of Indian research is suspect of varying degrees of academic dishonesty.
