Comments and sentiments like "Let them come in India and claim a trademark if it comes to that", doesn't quite encourage people to do what you are asking for.
A community, with a well entrenched reputation for cheap knock-offs, helps oneself to a brand without permission (that would be stealing) and then shows attitude about it.
There used to be an old joke about different countries coming together to show off their engineering prowess by improving a parent product originally from US (or Japan I do not remember). No one can figure out India's contribution. It turns out that they have stamped "made in India" to it.
