It will be a good bird if they ever produce it in numbers.

A true 5th generation fighter is not cheap and current numbers will not reflect the real costs.

The Indians have been snookered.

Maybe, but what are the alternatives? We aren't going to sell them the F-22 and there's always the threat of the US State Department and Congress shutting off the supply of spare parts and technical support for the F-35 if they get into a shooting war with Pakistan or China. Apparently Russia will give them the ability to manufacture their own copies of the T-50.
