What's futuristic for India is in the past for Americans. And in the present for Europeans, Russians and Chinese.
India should first focus on the needs of its poor and develop its economy than trying to produce futuristic missiles. In the mean time, it can ask the US to protect India from its enemies. Because of its political system popularly elected by a large underclass of poor, it need to cater to that constitutency first. So it first need to build up its economy and lift the poor out of poverty. Until India does that, it has no potential to be anything besides a large poor country with wealth concerntrated in the hands of a few while many starve to death.
