Simply because India has more in common with Pakistan and way less common with USA or Germany. The two countries were born out of the people who lived together since antiquity. It was foolish for Nehery, Gandhi, Ambedkar to force western ideals on a society that simply isn't ready or willing for...
Thing is, IAF is following a western training philosophy with a Russian platform like Su30 MKI. As noted by others (https://www.rbth.com/blogs/2015/06/04/why_the_indian_air_force_has_a_high_crash_rate_43501), IAF does an intense training year round to fight a high intensity high stake war...
AMCA is minimum 25 years away, if not more. India is still reinventing lots of wheels. Plus, Indian state owned companies need a proper project management for their development projects. As such their projects are late even before they are conceived. So, we will know what and how good it is...

As a Mig-21 replacement for intercepters, its not bad. As a modern multirole fighter/bomber, its not.
Given India gets into skirmishes across the the Pakistan border, its not a bad plane as its short legs are compensated by lack of depth in Pakistan airspace.
China is a totally different...
Actually they can. Though you cann't get reservation or caste based advantage handed out by the government unless you can prove that you forefathers belonged to a scheduled caste or tribe. To be honest, the constitution does not even allow you to ask or differentiate based on someone's caste...
You know, anyone born in India can always do a Ghar Vaapsi. Its not that hard. Religion is not hereditary.
I have issue with the foreign religion and ideologies in India, not all its followers. If they chose to abandon their foreign religion and ideologies and come back into the folds of their...
Tejas is essentially India's low tier fighter. The stupidity India did was to over spec it and delay it for so long. Should have stuck with engine and radar from reliable partners from the beginning. US engine and French Radar with private companies doing integration and production. That way...
How the hell just one squadron can be any game changer.
That said, for the first time in quite sometime, India will have a modern western fighter matching the kind of intense training they follow.
