The Soviets did have the Landau book for physics, though I do not know if it was made available in India.

I should put a word for an Indian publishing house named Narosa which put out cheap editions of text books(mostly western) like the Feynman Lectures, Fermi's Thermodynamics, etc.

Landsberg's series on Elementary Physics[0] would be a more appropriate counterpart to Resnick & Halliday etc, targeted towards those preparing for university exams. Narosa has a great collection indeed.

Yes, I've bought computer books from Narosa and they were good. I think they had tie-ups with western publishing houses like Springer-Verlag, etc.
