Re: Indian Space Program: News & Discussion
Probably stating the obvious here, but...the US in the 20 th century didn't have the handicap of a foreign occupying power retarding it's development for decades on end. The US already had a huge industrial base before WW 2. India wasn't comparable.

Re: India's R&D in Defence DRDO, PSUs and Private Sector
Nice article about the brake pads! I think as far back as the 70s, DRDO and Indian industry had made brake pads for the Mig-21, and they gave more landings than the ones that came with the aircraft. The Russians evidently liked the brake pads for the same reason, they may have even imported them fro...

I hope any ship with an Indian crew that has even half a brain, refuses to go to China. And will cite the experience of the 41 sailors as a reason. No matter under which flag the carrier travels. Of course, if it's an Indian owned one, there shouldn't be even the slightest hesitation to refuse.

The map should include that section of the lake, which is entirely within India. And preferably depict the 'finger' areas which are under contention.
