When macro tourists such as myself think about India, they often focus on India’s large role in the gold market.

We get lots of headlines when an Indian spends $200k making himself a gold shirt. (Someone should really let them in on a secret; gold is not the same as mithril and it won’t save you from the orc chieftain’s spear like it did for Frodo.)
