Many people who only knows about their own country but do not know about what others are doing will assume that they have the best in the world. That is why its important to get educated on anything beyond your own borders.
I don't realize that India's rockets use Russian's engine. So just wonder if it was Russian's engine problem, will Russian pay for the lost?
It is not corruption or lack of people with sound technical skills. It is actually a lack of awareness in terms of Quality Management.
Every project must be viewed under the paradigm of a start to end quality management program. The lack of this approach is what, I believe, is causing these failures.
Let me tell you. For e.g. Sometimes there's might be a crack in the solid propellant casting but if the quality control department fails to detect the crack, it will inevitably lead to a failure.
That's why I'm saying that it is nothing but lack of a stringent quality control approach.
@ Faithfulguy
there are only 5-6 countries in the world who possess such technology(heavy launch vehicle) so being in that list it can be said that we are one of the best because we one of the six..................
Our Space program has matured for the past years and we are now moving in a faster phase than before
so being ahead or behind china doesnt matters because our only goal is self reliance and we have almost achieved it..................

Almost is an elusive word. But I applaud India for the effort. Even though India's do not have heavy launch vehicle system. Only US, Russia and Europe has heavy launch vehicle. With China currently developing one. So India do not even have a plan for heavy lift launch system as of now.
Comparison of heavy lift launch systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
India is making efforts to make its own gslv.. next year there will be another test.. India has the plan..you do not know about it i guess.
I have heard about Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle mark III from India. But this is not regarded as a heavy launch vehicle.
GSLV Mark-3 comes under heavy launch vehicle and recently India has tested a heavy booster for it and it is worlds third largest solid rocket booster

India also has largest population (very soon). Does it affect ?
GSLV III is not heavy vehicle. It's mid-heavy. India doesn't have any format on table for heavy launches. May be once GSLV becomes operational we may think of Heavy launchers. Heavy launcher would be useful only for mars mission, thats around 2020.
