What you get in any country will depend on the local tastes. You will get hundreds of varieties of namkeens and sweets in India that you won't get in the US.

You get several types of ready to eat breads in India too, but they're more "localized". For example, from Britannia, apart from the usual milk, white, brown, whole wheat, multigrain, etc, you also have Kulcha, missi bread, pav, fruit bun, etc. In the US you would probably see rye bread, sourdough, etc.

Having said that, where I really envy US and Europe is the variety of cheeses. You get most of them in India too these days but they're prohibitively expensive.
