Indians would rather be white pill like the Irish Catholics and some others? "Bring in the Clowns" or is that bring in the clones? which ever those guys in red coats and white pants sure did a job blasting lots of nations. Even made a game, called Cricket, to celebrate whites and reds knocking down stick houses.

Lithium didn't make Latin America rich, did it? Lithium won't replace Oil. It has other positive impacts on our country though.
I wouldn't jump on the 'windfall' narrative either. It's just '15 lakh' part 2. Benefits from such projects very rarely trickle down.
If you want a silver lining then just look at the independence of decision making and security it gives you. No fear of sanctions and OPEC fuckery.

Found a great thread on first use of sidewinders
Proudly developed at Naval Air Station China Lake, and tactics book written by Top Gun at Miramar.
The first generation was so sensitive, the engineers would mount one on a stand, uncage the seeker, and then wave around a cigarette at the other end of the hangar.
The missile seeker could accurately track the cigarette.

And that’s when they realized that it could be easily fooled by flares.

The sun too. There are testing videos available online where the impr9ved AIM9L can be seen dodging flares of many kinds, and even some top secret infrared countermeasures used by the USN (the flare dispenser was blacked out on the image. Start at 1:40.
