I don't know where you got that impression from. This is not the 70's or the 80's anymore. Tarrifs have been coming down steadily over the last decade or so. Indian markets are now quite open and import tarrifs are reasonable by standards. (And they have been coming down steadily in the areas where they are not.)
I should know, I go out and buy imported consumer goods everyday.
On the other hand, U.S. farm subsidies make sure that Indian farmers are locked out of the that marked. Until recently Indian manufacuted steel was locked out of the U.S. market by your "protective" inport duties. (And the same seems to be happening to imported shrimp.)
