I know. India has a head start in many things. But the thing is that india wants to work alone. While pakistan has a ally that is the next superpower, is way ahead of india in almost every way. LCA is a good exmaple, indians triead to make a fighter from scratch. Which is impossible to make for a devloping country.
While Pakistan on the other hand dicided to do the same thing but only that they asked China for help. So you see this is where the differences begin to appear. India tries to do stuff from scrtach alone while pakistan does the same thing but only they get a partner, China in this case to help them.
You might have heard that the chinese need pakistanis as much as the pakistanis need the chinese. This is becasue china needs someone to help "distract" india away from becoming a power. That's why pakistan is china's ally. But then pakistan nedded someone to help them devlop. That's why china is pakistan's ally.
In other words, both countries are using each other and both countries are gaining experince from it. But the thing is that it is india who has to worry about all this.

Awais,
Sorry to say but your post lacks some facts.
# 1 For years India is developing it's space programme along with it's trusted partner Russia.
# 2 Pakistan is yet to launch SLV whereas India has launched SLV's/ASLV's/PSLV's and GSLV's.
#3 Indian space programme you cant compare with LCA. Indian Space programme is much much more matured and way ahead even of China.
The only difference is due to the political willingness China has done human flights where as India dosent need one.
Even when we wouldn't get Cryogenic engines we made it by our own.
# 4 India has launched it's own satelites for Weather,Education,Telecommunication,media and even for spying.
# 5 Besides this India has also successfully launched many many foriegn satelites.
# 6 Today we are at such a stage that we don't need colaboration from any other country but still all are welcome.
For Example NASA is going to put it's Payload on the Indian Space Craft for their Research and Development.
