Perhaps Rapid response to crisis in securing trade routes? India does have commercial shipping lanes it would need to protect (or outsource this protection of sea lanes to someone else).

Rahul, I agree w.r.t. Gleick's book. You are right. I think Eintein may have just needed the assumption that there was a limit to the speed of light "c" to work out his theories. MM was to determine the actual speed of light, so I should not have mentioned it in my post.

Not at all helpful for India to create a artificial division between the Pakis/Pakistani Army and ISI -- very helpful for the USA since it gives pakistan room to breathe at the expense of India (as has been going on for decades).
