There are two issues with your questions.

First, from your location, it would cost more money to ship from India than America.
Second, instead of asking whether it is moral for a consumer to buy from Amazon India, why not asking whether it is moral for Amazon India to charge so little for their books and therefore depriving 50% of the author's profits?
