Dear Sir,
India should open the legal market to foreign law firms. This is something China did many years ago and the level of international legal support from the big foreign firms in China, co-existing with equally reputable Chinese law firms, has served the economy well.
The argument that foreign law firms will drive local lawyers out of business does not hold much water.
In many jurisdictions where foreign legal competition has been introduced, it benefited the local economy by allowing more local lawyers to be employed by foreign firms and facilitating the transfer of knowledge and skills.
