People in India are beginning to realise that the financial upheaval globally will not pass the country by, says Jagannadham Thunuguntla, head of the capital markets arm of India's fourth largest share brokerage firm, the Delhi-based SMC Group. "Detroit's Big-three (General Motors or GM, Chrysler, Ford) are in trouble. Reports say GM and Ford are heading for bankruptcy, and GM and Chrysler are talking merger. The auto sector drives the economy, companies like these and Citigroup, if they are in trouble, it spells trouble for us," he added.
