Don't force me to report you to admins! Please respond appropriately. There's no word called North Hindi - it is mere figment of your imagination. Hindi and Urdu (the official language of Pakistan) are both derived from hindustani which existed in the subcontinent 800-1000 years back. Tamil on the other hand is much older and dates back to almost 3000 years or if you consider harappa civilization to be Dravidian then they are already 5000 years old - much older than the Chinese!
As for the delays, there's no doubt that Indian navy has suffered a lot due to unwanted delays but discrediting original research efforts to design a SSBN and SLBM is totally outrageous There are a lot of things I can write, however since some of those things are still not available in public domain, I would refrain. I have utmost respect for the Chinese (hell, one of a professor here is from Wuhan China).
Now if you don't have anything meaningful to contribute then please avoid commenting. Besides do not use smilies in serious discussions. Learn some manners first
As I said, please stick to the topic. Kindly open a thread comparing the Chinese sub with that in Indian inventory. Let the PN first get comfortable with the Chinese sub and integrate them into their war fighting strategy and then we'll talk. Also you're completely oblivious to the fact that by 2028 (when PN will actually recieve all 8 Chinese subs), IN would have added 10-12 new convention subs in the form of scorphene and follow on P-75i. Not to mention 4-5 SSBNs and atleast a few SSNs. India also has demonstrated fuel cell based AIP which is technologically superior to both mesma and sterling cycle based AIP. I can provide credible proof for every statement that I've made here. We can definitely discuss the technological aspects should you chose so.
