Mridula, If Honda can recall...... why does not an Indian manufacturer never think the same way. Would you feel Indian manufacturers never make errors or else are forever not bothered ....ask youself? Sole exception being Nano where again it was forced by the danger of product going off the shelves for lack of buyers that forced some half hearted initiative. Else even after reporting companies do not care......quite simply taking advantage of the reason that taking the matter to court is cumbersome even for customers. Here lies the difference is between proactive and reactive that too per extreme force.

I really dont think so....its not like profit always which comes first on their mind, if people are paying money for something then one rest assures that they get good quality product, yes the system in India has bred corruption by which few things are compromised, but not at the cost of people's lives there, there are some basic necessities which all of these automobiles should meet, if they are not meeting then they will not even be allowed in the market first place, so we cant just say things by comparing to European market, there the Infrastructure is much better than India and according to the India infrastructure conditions, the automobiles are safe enough.

There are millions of cars on the road now, and the number gets bigger everyday. It's inevitable that there will be accidents and fatalities, but the problem is much bigger than it should be. One of the serious factor behind this is the lack of safety measures equipped in the cars. As india is getting a biggest market in small cars, the race is there among the manufacturers to provide the budget cars in the market. This competition making them to sacrifice in safety measures compared to the european market.

Mridula and friends on RHS,

Between minimum and maximum there are several stages meaning "Safe" or "Unsafe" can not be discussed in absolute terms. How much importance is given to detail, accuracy and customer feedback goes on to differentiate. In a country where roadside repair is yet to become a subject for automakers or the customers often fail to find value with authorised workshops, the expectations and delivery both are rather low.

Most company authorised Workshops fail with adherence to checklists and do not check Pollution control before delivery.

Definitely ! For them its the quicker way to profits that they are interested in. Have you ever come across any vehicle recall in the indian market so far ? Helping them is the lack of proper regulation and thrust on R&D.

2-wheelers and 3-wheelers being inherently unsafe, does not give license for 4-wheelers priced at Rs. 5 lakh and above to be unsafe also. Indian car manufacturers should not wait for government legislation to wake up and enforce safety.

Yes. Two & three wheelers should be banned on Indian roads, just as they are banned on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The price of transportation should be calculated only after the minimum global standard of safety has been met. That means goodbye to illegal and unlicensed चकडा (chakDos), जुगाड (jugaaDs) and मरुता (marutaas). Chakdas (Chakdo in Gujarati) carry up to 20 people (illegal and usually covered by a bribe), and all kinds of huge loads. Apparently, they are available round the clock and at every important junction in Saurashtra and Kutch. This has a gross vehicle weight of 1 ton, powered by a single cylinder 395 cc diesel/kerosene.

Rear seat belts still don't have inertia reels in 2011. Front air bags, mandatory in the civilized world are merely optional in India, and that too only in high-end cars. Side air-bags don't even exist as options in most Indian cars. Pedestrian protection -- Energy absorbing compliant bumpers, dynamically raised bonnets and windscreen airbags aren't even heard of in India.

The TATA NANO car was passed after making changes in the National Road Safety policy and other Vehicle safety policies. This is the biggest example as how much we care for safety. None of Indian standard cars can be sold in European market in same state. Our big corporate people can make the government to change some policies in their favor.

Unlike in the US and European car markets, recall of cars is not mandatory in India, even in cases of technical faults.

They are giving wat we needed. If we demand more adequate safety parameters, they will provide. But the price will be slightly high.

First of all a thought- Form, Function, Economy....a god of design for any design, be it pin or a plane...now coming to the point...great car designs can also compared in this triangle...lets leave the form part and talk about function and economy.A car as a primary function is to transport passengers, which means passenger comes in first position, rather the car,so considering that, a passenger in india are categorised where as in europe they are not, a passenger needs a smooth ride more than a mercedes benz, so before making the car, making a better road should be more important where again passengers are categorised , and that way the road is made, so if we are really concerned with the passengers the car should not be the issue rather the road should be the issue which is obviously an issue since ages in india, so whats the point in pointing out faults in car manufacturing which is actually relating to the term economy of the golden triangle rather than the function.Why do we think europe have better standards in car manufacturing, i believe its not the car manufacturing, because it will only add to the economy of the car or the country, wtever, but for them the "passengers" are a more concern than making business.

NO car manufacturer will ignore safety measures.in INDIA also all car manufacturers will provide safety measures as per govt. normsaccidents takes place not because of lack of safety measures but because of our fault-both drivers and we the pedestrians.how many of us fallow traffic rules.all of us has broken the rule in one day or the other.so blaming a car manufacturer is not correct.if they give 200% safety we may not use it.

In my point of view Car manufacturers are following safety norms of Indian govt. & they are correct. If you feel Indian cars are not safe then please let me know what you say about 2-wheelers & three wheelers. In fact three wheelers are public transport system. Compare any three wheeler on Indian road & compare it with any car on Indian road. If you are supporting this debate then you must feel that two & three wheelers should be banned on Indian roads. Comparing Europe with India is not good. If Indian car manufacturers are not at par with Europian car manufacturers then only govt. can make stringent rule to make it happen. Just blaming Indian car manufactures is not good, they are making safer vehicle than two & three wheeler at least. It is like -- somebody is donating Rs. 100 & you are saying he is donating enough he should donate Rs 200.
