Because we still had leaders and bureaucrats in power who were deep in with their colonial masters. Our freedom in 1947 was kind of a hoax since many leaders were British agents and those who were not they were subdued. It was a long process for us to be completely free of them and is still going on.When India was at war with Pakistan, she did not refuse to buy British weapons. What matters is the end result.
If Saudi can duplicate Iran's offer of cheap reliable supply of oil and promise not to help Pakistan fund its anti India activities, then I am all for it. Otherwise our needs dictate our foreign policy, not the other way around.good intel in middle east, great missile shit (iron dome) and some nifty guns ( tavor and stuff). Besides, the boat on iran has sailed. Its firmly in china's grasp and China is realizing that cozying up to Iran for a port in the gulf is a better plan than cozying up to Pakistan - they just have to pass through tajikistan to turkmenistan to get to iran but its doable.
Currently the main axis forming in west asia is Israel-Saudi-UAE-India.Which actually gives us infinitely more leverage over the Pakis, since Saudi+UAE ==1 lakh Paki overseas workers, if not more and one of them is holds the two Ms of Islam.
Pakistan will be funded by islamic world no matter what...If Saudi can duplicate Iran's offer of cheap reliable supply of oil and promise not to help Pakistan fund its anti India activities, then I am all for it. Otherwise our needs dictate our foreign policy, not the other way around.
We have to reward companies and individuals who decide to invest in the R&D that would reverse the brain drain and encourage PhD studies in those fields you mention.Make in India should be about making quality weapons and not just any weapons and certainly not disasters like INSAS.In a hypothetical sanction scenario,almost all of India's military modernization program will go in for a toss.
Remember our enemy is now making top grade weapons and to counter them we need western assistance in tech development because spending money on each and every R&D project requires a lot of time and money which we don't have.Alternatively get the tech using espionage as done by China.I bet India will ever do that.
Another massive headache for India is the brain drain,we are losing our finest brains in record numbers(perhaps except for in the field of IT).I have not yet come across a single PhD student in the field of Metallurgy,Biotech,Core engineering who has plans to stay in India.
Bitchslapping Nehru is more doable than telling all the regional kings to help Rani. I can't help stupid but I certainly can teach someone. Besides Nehru was cockblocking Sardar Patel from doing the needful. So by bitchslapping Nehru, it allows Patel the freedom to do what he actually wanted to do, invade Punjab and Kashmir and then keep Kashmir and some parts of Punjab and trade away the rest for a peace deal.Why not to 1857 and tell all regional kings to help rani lakshmi bai ?
Or better misguid Columbus to stop this nonsense.
Just 1 basic example of Bulgaria below against Russia. Another example is Ukraine's GDP is half of Russia!You are talking nonsense. An example is Bulgaria. It lives no better than Ukraine, but develops according to normal rules.
Because Britain itself is a colony of the US! They also got FORCED to believe in WMD's in Iraq!I don't think there is an imperial mentality left in Britain.
Need more hoooomore?Thanks for bringing a light, humorous touch to ab otherwise heated thread.
And you provoked them into attacking by threatening their security interests and increasing their fear.Who cares what the West wants. The Russians attacked.
Did you know that India bought those weapons because the British could not repay India back and only offer goods to be bartered away? It was not like India had a choice.When India was at war with Pakistan, she did not refuse to buy British weapons. What matters is the end result.
Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!! Look at Britain trying to keep the Commonwealth relevant.I don't think there is an imperial mentality left in Britain.
fake. Look at the shots going off in a zag and not exploding.Azov video of Ukranian BTR hitting 2 Russian T-72 tanks in Mariupol, with 30 mm cannon.
The tank in the front appears to have been immobilized..
You can thank the western ELINT for that.And who placed the ATGM and crew at the right spot, at the right time, you, me or Sameer ?
I think its fake news.Oh no, now pootin will have to invade Russia.
As a PR measure, China, Russia, and others who voted no today should stand up and condemn US for striking Afghanistan and call US a war mongering nation hellbent on seeking terror on peace loving people.
Seems like an AQ camp. Surprise surprise, Talibunnies practiced al taqqiya and didn’t keep their deal with the US to not allow foreign Jihadist groups in Afghanistan.
Lol. Is that why the average brit pretends India still depends on their charity to survive? Any article about India showing the middle finger to the west always has "muh aid" and "yUr sPaCe ProGRam" comments. And it's always Brits. Not Americans, not other Europeans, just Brits.I don't think there is an imperial mentality left in Britain.
Rifle is a rudimentary thing but assistance is required in advanced engineering stuffs because the west has decades of technical knowhow and expertise. We cannot churn out world beating weapons out of nowhere.You don't need western assistance for making rifles all you need is a communist free OFB or private sector to take the charge.
West doesn't provide shit for nothing. We have to build our own path .
You have no idea how many languages we have in BharatAnd by the way - the patriots of India, why do you speak the language of the occupier? Maybe national identification is not related to the language issue?
