Well... I don't know or care about Chinese monsoons, won't bother to find where an odd earthquake stuck in china (except, whatever is printed as a side news on timesofindia.com) or what politicking in happening in china !!!
Neither care to find out how many chinese can or can't write their...
More examples of what I said .. haha.
So, you found out how many Indian's write in Hindi and how much don't :laugh:
Next assignment for you: find out about Malayalam, Telugu, Gujarati, Marathi, Bangla (this one will help you know about Bangladesh too) and Urdu (will tell you more about...
Well, that's still a compliment .... now, you are those set of chinese who are concerned that India develops it's own Rafale-equivalent.
Either way the chinese are getting sleepless .... lately, more so with anything to do with India (not just Rafale) ... be it Indian monsoons, space launches...

Poor Lankan Ranger .... everybody the world over came to know your noble views about aid:
Hence, China already gave up on Sri Lanka ..... they are trying "Maldives" over Sri Lanka, now. :laugh:
It's Maldives time to squeeze China dry (in Lankan Ranger's interpretation of aid) ..... Sri Lanka...
I understand your anger and frustration about your .. whatever 054A.. looks tiny and shoddy compared to the Shivalik. In addition, you also seem to lack faith in swimming abilities of chinese foot soldiers in the ocean armed with sea-compatible bows and arrows.
The book sounds apt .... though many people (including govt, off course) already know these things.
The current status is that China is concerned by the rise of India, which is quite clearly seen in how china officially responds to Agni-5 or Indian naval warships visiting shanghai or...
The only key thing is the fuel costs (crude oil imports) .... they would need to paid to foreign countries.
Defence is a large buyer of ATF (see the list of dedicated military fuel depots at each air force base) + huge diesel demand of Naval warships + whatever the mobile units of army need to...
What is the percentage if you compute 3.3 billion / 32 billion?
And any components purchased to build Su-30MKIs in India do get added up in $3.3 Billion.
Whatever components / assembling done by HAL itself; that money remains in India. The key is the money.
