exactly. the whole problem in india is that we treat defence like some "holy cow" and in the process the govt produces "safed hathis" like

1) arjun tank
2) agni missile
3) LCA

and many more.

Remember, Indigenous Technology is a must for India's Total Independence. In fact for any country to become "totally and fully" independent like China it is must.
The reason as you have mentioned is it generate lot of spin-offs applicable in various other technologies including household utensils and door latches, etc. My PhD deals with this hence I liked your great comment.
