Chinese scholars being urged to prioritize domestic journals as opposed to 'international' journals may open up some room. I wonder who'll take it. How wonderful it would be if the Indian context and Indian voice became so interesting to the international journals that they'd want more of it. Journals must reflect the choices of the audience. And audience for research requires not just a mindset, but an economic model where incentives from hyperinnovation are enormous, where institutions reward novelty, where perfection and aesthetics take precedence over fail-fast, and where capital is abundant. People in academia deliberate on the importance of having some top journals from India, with the highest reputation, standards and reach. But do we have the audience? Are they asking for it? Are they ready for it? We probably need the ecosystem first and the rest will follow.
