Hey Wison Thomas, Welcme to the banana club - India's right at home among the rest of the banana republics, albeit she's does some IT-BPO some on the side. The reason why India ned to import everything defense related is because govt has monopolized the sector and her so-called scientists are nothing but clock-watching babus, who get their salary and perks irrespective of whether they produce anything at all, like the rest of the useless babudom in this stinking land. Tiny Israel is a giant hornet compared to India, a tiny ant, when it comes to defense production and R&D. Despite all the feel-good chest beating about becoming a developed nation, India still can't even make a decent field gun, which they have to import from Africa, Slovakia, Sweden, Israel etc, far less more sophisticated stuff like warplanes, subs etc., unless it's borrowed technology. All the trillions wasted on these useless babus could have been better spent on schools, hospitals, housing etc.
