    Why do all the readers end up in political level ? Has anyone thought about the regime we had for the past 6 decades ? It is due to the unorganised ruling, our defence forces never got attention and yet again the warriors and brave soldiers are still protecting our country where we are able to have good sleep. It is only from last 10 - 15 yrs we have seen the massive growth in our defence equipments. Did we had our own missile development ? It was only our late President Dr. APJ gifted this to us. From thereon we have not seen back and have made tremendous development. America is successful not by its own, but the brains behind it is mainly due to indians. By 2020, india will be self sufficient by its own to produce home made defence equipment. Its already on and we have already received sufficient orders for supply. Take Tejas for example. What an high class fighter aircraft it is... marvellous.. Nothing happens immediately. Dont expect a child immediately out of marriage. That too take time. We are not western oriented to have child first and then get married. India is a country of culture and tradition and lets be proud of our country and stand in line to bring fame to our country. Jai Hind !

    I agree with Amin. In spite of a whole sub going down it is still chalta hai attitude in the defence forces. They are supposed to be battle ready 24/7. imagine china attacking us. It will be 1962 all over again.

    This is why all must boycott army, navy and airforce. Last time an indian navy submarine had blasted off the indiaN COAST. Such carelessness and corruption from the officials of india navy leads to such disasters periodically.
