Indian stocks rallied dramatically late last week, but for U.S. investors eyeing this mayhem from afar, the Indian market looks as risky as it is tempting. With stock prices down, is this the moment to invest on the cheap in what many believe will be the world's fastest-growing economy over the next 50 years...
