Principally agreed that we should mfg our own stuff. But have you ever read about the reviews of our products. The DRDO after gulping billions came out with a Arjuna tank and in a battle exercise , Indian army found the tank to be useful so we had to import T-90 tanks as a priority. This is the story with most of the stuff mfd in India. With this fate, we cannot expect our soldiers to fight an enemy who has got the latest and greatest stuff..Secondly India is aspiring to become a naval super power, for controlling all the Indian ocean politics..For that we need an Aircraft carrier on each of our coasts. Thats the price to be paid for becoming big.
