India need to build the latest generation aircraft carriers i.e. nuclear powered ones. It is true that India does not have the technology to do so right now (we are building a conventional one now; and India need at least three such to protect the three sides of coast); and we should collaborate with countries like Israel and France to build such ships. Our deterrence has no meaning without the aircraft carriers. Our sights should be set on the future and the projects should have nuclear powered submarines in mind too.

Yar mujhe to samajh nahin aata ki ye hamare politicians apne scientist per bharosa kyon nahin karte. We should be and if not try to be self-reliant on all fronts especially on defence terms. Nahin to bheek he mangte rahenge aur hamesha peeche hi rahenge. Stop relying on others and invest in our own. Initiate and back up a conducive enviornment for R&D.

kyunki aadhe se jayada budhe scientiston ko unhone hi appoint kiya hai. aur politician jante hain ki unki kitni aaukat hai. Jab tak 35 saal se upar walon ko DRDO se compulsory retirement nahin e diya jaata nothing will change.
