And there is nothing like 'a shrewd integration of already available technologies and indigenous technologies in the defense sector'. You need a working horse, now you need various components for that. Now no one is going to guide you as to which are available and which are not. Everything has to be done on your own, no literature, all the literature would be mostly lying or providing almost misleading data, it is not a very pleasant research. You need to learn the hard way and so it is imperative that we have foreing collaborations in order to be able to at least be equal to them and then certainly we can catch up with them. Moroever, for Kargil, I do not think it was such a major issue. I do not think we were going to use some missiles for Kargil, and DRDO to ost of the time concentrates on those technologies which are more like strategic in nature and we were not using such technoligies for Kargil. So, I think, blaming DRDO for Kargil problems is stretching the arguments further than the common sense dictates us to do.
