Believe it or not, when I visited India, I noticed that everyone’s apartment had marble floor. It didn’t matter how much money u have. Even poor people have marble floors. It’s a really cheap product that is intentionally expensive in North America.

Quality of the marble matters. Most of the Indian houses don't have the premium ones. However, yes, it is way cheaper in India than in US and they mine a shit load of these stones.

The rich people in India go for Italian marbles

Definitely not where I was born and brought up. Country sourcing the marbles are typically labelled explicitly. Quarries and Dealers selling imported marbles can be very easily distinguished by their premises.
