That's approx usd 6.56.
Indian rupee to Hong Kong dollar - 50.90
(Hong Kong dollar 50.9 to AUD7.37)
Edit
Had I bought the book directly from the Hong Kong site at 102.39 then I would have paid AUD14.83

That's interesting to note. It pays to globetrot. I wonder which version you found. Easy to tell: US (ashtray and typewriter on cover) or UK (red and yellow blurred picture of a bar sign on the cover). I'm guessing India is a UK publication region.
I note that when you self-publish on Kindle (as I have), and set pricing for different countries, Amazon India has a much lower minimum set price (if you choose the higher author royalty setting). So it seems India would generally be the cheapest place to buy ebooks.
