I ain't supporting no socialists nor communists on this issue, but it is the duty of Government of Bharat, with out their known prejudices against majority community, to protect the local communities, local businesses and see to it that local Walmart employee gets a decent wage with respect.
US has tough Labor Laws and has comparatively much better grievance redressal system to hold companies accountable (irrespective of Company's market size or contacts in the Government) for mistreating their employee. Bharat on the other hand, unfortunately, does not. Government of Bharat has to ensure that Labor Rights of employees are upheld and they are not exploited. There are Environment issues also.
Below are some documentaries about the effect of Walmart on local communities in United States.
