I've not inquired as to how it happened but India, unlike China, does in fact tow the rules that were set down by others. And has done so for a couple of decades now. It was something to do with manufacturing of generic drugs. They gave them up for I don't know what in return.

Replacing Z80 with ARM would make it valid today. Basic still does the job.
