We do not want to build the alliance with any country like US or China on anyone....
Our thinking, ideology, culture; are quite unique and different from other countries. And we would like to preserve it.
US or china is not an ideal partner. Let us remember that... - China has attacked us in the past. And will do it in future; if get the chance. Blocking our UNSC membership as well. - US has supported our enemy pakistan. And it is still blocking us for our UNSC membership.
Let us build the capability and strength to fight alone..

Self reliance is a slippery path. The national ideology of North Korea is "juche" (self-reliance). And North Korea is a basket case. Capability and strength to fight alone can be built up only with international engagement.
Or do you suggest we rely on the LCA and the MBT for our armed forces?

Nothing wrong in LCA, MBT in developing, using or improving.. They are the best asset for us in comparision to buying the US made F16 or chinese made J10

I did not compare India with North Korea. I just pointed out the perils of "self-reliance".
Yes, a couple of LCAs are finally flying after 25 years of effort, thanks to American engines. And the MBT is a dead duck.
