You raised the valid point...........lets Define "Indigenous Weapon" first.
Take Arjun MBT or LCA as example and define "Indi-genious"
Oh common holy ****................I meant how long have you been discussing the same..........Please bother to talk something else.....
A discussion takes place when two people are ready to talk with free minds...
It cannot happen with people who are with prejudice and talking with attitude just to win in a talk...........
If you want me to tell that India hasn't made any thing of its own, then make yourself feel that i said it......Does that make a difference to you....Does that make a difference to DRDO...does that make a difference to India...NO it doesn't......
For a baby to be born alive you have to wait atleast 9 months....I believe that the effect and value of many of our actions can been seen fructifying only in the time to come.....
I believe that the path Indian defence sector is taking is at least a small step towards the future....To deny it is utter foolishness...There may be many wrong in what we are doing..Then the history of the entire human creations was to rectify the defects and move towards perfection.....
I would like to point one thing to you.....All the talk is about how DRDO failed India...But if DRDO was not there would this topic be here...If it didn't try to create Arjun and LCA will this topic be here......So this criticism itself can be taken as a valid point to tell that DRDO is doing something be it good or bad...
.Let me make it clear Arjun and LCA are not projects in isolation...There are follow ups on which talks have already started.....See where Prithvi is now...Did it reach a stage where India and DRDO is thinking about ABM.....And wasn't it a hot topic about failure of Indian BM program long time back.....Why don't dudes discuss it now........
Again India and Pakistan are two nations that came into existence on same day; even though brothers ended up as enemies...And which is the basic reason of all the ever fueling fight on DRDO and indegenious topics......Accept this reality and you will have a better vision...If you can stand as an outsider and think, I believe its well and good..............
Atleast know that even in the darkest sky there can be ray of goodness, love and hope. All children born on this earth are gifted.............and so are the nations and organizations...
Its better move ahead and see how much can be gained from the time at present than continuing with a never ending debate...........
