I am currently visiting India. The economy is semi-heating up; however, inflation last month was running at 16%, the reserve bank seems behind the curve at ~7-8%. So people have a choice to stay cash and lose at 16%, buy bonds and lose at 8%, or invest in the stock market and break even :-), seriously though, the Sensex has returned on average 16% over last few years. If one wants to get a positive return, the investors need to time the market, not many options around. We know how well trying to time the market swings works for most investors. The inflation is felt seriously by middle class everywhere...and the economists predict it will come down to 5-6% in 2011, after the reserve bank raises interest rates.
