Well, not in cities, but in rural areas they are a bit rare? :) Also, this is more eco-friendly for small near by errands to be run. What say? :)

This is much better for local journeys, 100%. But I have to disagree that cars are ‘rare’ in any part of India. Source, I am Indian and have travelled a significant portion of the subcontinent.

I am also an Indian, and I, too have travelled widely.

You are only looking at the roads. Look at homes of people. How many garages and cars do you see? Very, very rare.
