RE:Congratulations DRDO

"The greatest enemy for this country is Corruption ", Greatly appreciate this statement, however Votebank politics exists everywhere including US. There are many causal factors for corruption, the most critical factor has been the falling purchasing power. You can work in 7-11 in US earn a decent salary and even maintain a small car. Such work fetches a pittance in India. Average productivity in US is 20 times higer, and productivity as you know is directly linked to per capita energy consumption. And energy equations in Middle-East and blocking of India from cheap oil access by creating Paksitan is what geo-politics has been all about. In the current era the equations are extending beyond oil-equations to civil nuclear-energy equations. In this context it makes eminent sense for India-US and other nations to work together. But the old cold-war hangovers in US are not over yet. One hopes that good sense, self interest and political wisdom will prevail.
