What is India good at?
1. Diplomacy?
Answer: Hell no.... suppa powaa dreams of NSG and UNSC went up their hineys.
Think again, Foreign policy built and run from New Delhi, not Washington DC - can you say the same about yourself? Balanced military relation with russia, ukraine, Israel, US, Britain, France. Bilateral relations with UAE, Saudi, Iran, and Israel on the same footing. ON the NSG waiver Nuclear reactors from France Russia already signed, nuclear material from russia, canada , Australia, and US under negotiations.
2. Technology?
Answer: WTF...... apparently they call "technical assistance" as "indigenous" and many other things such as ToT.... from American Sounding Rockets to Canadian Plutonium all apparently was indigenous tech...... ALMOST EVERY TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT in modern day India used from Bhabha to ISRO/DRDO is IMPORTED.... then let's not forget them beautiful brand spanking new GSLV engines from Russia? INDIGENOUS MY ASSSS...... if you can't build an aricraft engine, how the hell can you do anything else.
American sounding rockets as a starting point reached ICMB's and SLBM's. Canadian reactors as a starting point reacher PWR's for Nuclear Subs. As far as ISRO is concerned, a good comparison would be in your backyard. Your space program if I am not mistaken started before us, and where you stand now. Now as far as Aero Engine jibe you threw, even technological power house like China, couldn't make on it's own and recently has had some success with Russian derivatives of Al31's. On the same bench mark you guys are still struggling to build a decent IC Engine.
3. Bullshit?
Answer: Amazing at it....
Well, that's holy now.
Rest of the stuff is as good as hot air coming from a Mallu's hiney and they are experts and making themselves sound intelligent and mocking your intelligence.... kings of running their mouths with nonsensical numbers and vague reference to some vedic sciences!
ITS ALL INDIGENOUS.......
Please, keep away from vedic science lines, give credit where is due. Purely on terms of technology, India is miles ahead in space program, and thus I don't see a need for any co-operation from Pakistan in this project , so I doubt the project had any scope for technological co-operation. But hopefully in the future when relations between the two normalizes, this is one field where there could be some joint programs.
