    India is a big country and has large coast It needs lots of shipyard to make ships not only for navy but also for cargo containers. India is the largest scrapyard for ships with over half the ships in the world being salvaged in India.

    Yes, with modifications it is possible to strap a harpoon and sensors. The modifications are minor and hence not some high technology level

    We can't give submarine manufacturing to a shipyard that doesn't have the skillset. It is not about private or public but about availability of skillset. MDL has already created it and now shifting the project to L&T will make the skilled labour of MDL go waste and also waste time to acquire...

    Nothing trumps Islam. You can't make Maldivians change their religion easily and hence there is no easy way. Unless you go to the root cause and understand the problem, you will only keep day dreaming. You have to cut the losses. The moment Maldives turned into Islam, that is the moment India...

    India can invade Maldives but not KSA - this is what I said. I also said that the only way India can control Maldives is by colonialisation. Your idea of removing Yameen will not work as people will vote for anyone else who stands for Islam. If not Yameen, another ISIS man will come. So, the...

    India has a massive sway over Middle east and they must be afraid of India. But that does not mean that India can do whatever it wants. KSA has lot of oil because of which it has supporters from all across the world who will not allow India or anyone else to directly attack GCC countries. Even...

    India may take down Yameen but the people will elect another muslim brotherhood man as president. Unless you plan on genocide or permanent colony under India, it is not advisable to intervene militarily. India giving arms to Iran will only improve Iran's defence industry and backfire on India...

    It is not your backyard to intervene. Maldives people are muslims and are naturally hostile to India. Especially with Modi coming and warning Arabs against any threats of "oil sanctions" which they had put on India before, the muslim community has become shocked at the strength displayed. Saudi...

    No, it is Tibet for Arunachal & Ladakh trade. Also, Aksai Chin is not exactly in India. Raja Hari Singh never went there. It is just claimed territory, a no man's land. I don't understand why you don't understand that India started the hostility towards China in 195 by brining in Dalai Lama and...

    Russia give ToT to India. Again, China is not a true enemy of India. It was because of misguided policy (mostly influenced by the erstwhile hatred towards China by both USSR and USA) to host Tibetan government in exile. That is the sore point of Indo-China relation. Once that is resolved, there...

    Except Russia, I would not trust any other arms supplier. Also, the first priority is indigenous manufacture which is easier for CATOBAR as it is 50+ year old technology

    The engines are locally assembled, not made. India doesn't make Naval engines of diesel above 3MW and Turbofan above 12MW. THE 10-12MW Diesel engine and 25MW gas turbine engines are imported or assembled under license.
