₹ 1.35 trillion India rupee is 18,505,931,500 USD. 18 billions. Not much.

China GDP 15.42 Trillions. 18 billions is 0.1167% China GDP. If this can be called arm race, arm race then.

If you think I'm Indian, man I must be pissing you off when I go after your BFF China. For that matter, most of us in the US hate China and then to use your hard-earned tax dollars to go against your personal interest. I can see how doubly pissed you must be...

He was caught lying during that, he did it to become famous and when he did became he joined the Samajwadi Party and contested the General elections from Varanasi against Narendra Modi but he lost pretty badly as the courts had already declared him a liar. Plus if you’re serving in the Armed Forces, you may never get good food as it is the life of a soldier full of challenges, getting ration at extreme areas is also a huge task.
