You really should not be talking about "independence and self-sufficient" especially when the vast majority of your military hardware and equipment is from Russia. You barely can manufacture or produce any of your own important military hardware. Pakistan is far more self-sufficient than India in providing for its defense needs. Your military is a military that runs mostly on imports, and that is a undisputed fact.
As for "independence" it doesn't hurt that Pakistan has allies that share common interests with Pakistan. Pakistan is independent in the sense it makes its own decisions, it decides to have strategic relations with China, it wasn't pressured into it. Same goes for other countries like Russia, Pakistan and Russia decided to improve ties. Pakistan decided to work with US in war on terror, although under pressure, nonetheless it was Pakistani leadership that made these decisions when the time came.
So don't talk about independence or self-sufficiency when your country India is lacking in both.
That isn't even the situation is it? Fact is Pakistan and China both have territorial disputes with India, both have fought a war with India. Both share interest in taking "panga" against India. It's not Pakistan telling China to do x,y,z or China telling Pakistan to do x,y,z, both Pakistan and China want to do x,y,z on their own accord but together as allies. The sooner you delusional Indians realize the better you will understand the strategic threat you are in.
