Rather we should try to use Indian alternative which can survive in desert land. Over a period of time, abundance of olive trees can change our food habits (oil) to that of mediterranian people.

Olives and derivatives of olives (like oil etc) are actually good for the body, and also provide great opportunities for export. Our food habits wouldn't change one bit, instead it would be incorporated into our cooking just like tomatoes and potatoes were. Olive trees can survive in austere conditions, the Israelis have been planting them in their deserts.
