    IMHO nothing to be proud of being 5th in making rockets. How about being 5th in making peace, being 5th in giving humanitarian aid to poorer countries? I would consider this a much better achievement.

    unlike other countries we are looking for peace. But this make other countries think that we are unfit for war and many people don't know that now we have many billionaires but we have more poor people too.

    Even though you have technology we would win

    Remember these things

    a)Pandavas had a lesser army than Karuavas even then Pandavas won the war

    b)Akbar against Hemu

    c)Tipu Sultan against British in Third Mysore War

    Note:Tipu sultan was the first warrior to use rockets against British (in War he was the first one to use).He got killed because of treachery

    d)See this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Longewala

    (against Pakistan 120 men won against 40 tanks and they were heavily outnumbered also)

    e)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaitan_Singh
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rezang_La



    Our Soldiers are one of the best in the world.Even if USA turns against oneday we would defend our Motherland sucessfully..

    Also one can say that we even got independence from British who were technologically superior to us..

    So do n't think we are powerless.

    we have many leaders who are muslims. We don't hate muslims but hate the terrorists . They are taking the poor muslim people to make them terrorists. Why are they doing all these nonsense only to propogate their religion.

    What we have to understand is corruption per'se is a very human thing, condenmable but yet there.
    the indian army is no diffrent, there was a recent scandle of substanderd food (afaik) bought for the jawans in kashmir, and then the petrol scandle in Leh,
    but the kind of checks and balances the Indian army has its not very difficult to get noticed if ones doing something wrong, so comparitevly when it comes to the army, all misadventurers are brought to book immediately.

    But when it comes to the Military Hardware, those are NOT bought by the army, those are bought by the the beuraucracy in New delhi, the defence ministry! there the level of curruption is very high! yes we have a tad outdated Hardware, But it is not the Hardware that wins you the war itself! It is the strategies you use!

    in the recent Kargil war, india had the same equipment, on the other hand Pakistan had ALL HIGH TECH equipments! but the result being we drove them back to the LOC, didnt we :) it takes more than hardware to win!

    Pakistan lets face it is governed by the army itself, and they control the economy, so it is their say what % of GDP they want to spend on defence, which is highest in south asia, and perhaps one of the highest in the world (less countries in africa).

    but alas lets face it if the best of hardware were to win you wars, Iraq and Afghanistan would be peaceful places right NOW!!! i support Obama where he says high time we pull out of Iraq, and focus on afghanistan, coz the war in Iraq, to my best belief, is no longer a war on terror, Afghanistan needs the attention back.

    threads like these evoke more patriotism than logical discussions, and should be opened and replied to with better thought!


    India being Number #1, far from it, India being an "Emerging Economic Power" almost there! :D

    @Stroh - how does Race matter??? ,... Obama Won for his intellect and passion for his country! ... not for his race! :)

    i request mods to close this thread!

    Agree to "msolution"

    I think these kind of threads are not good to discuss actually...why not discuss about peace? Is India #1 peaceful country? No...So don't be proud.. Powerful military is not a thing to be proud of but being peaceful country is some thing to proud of. Who cares if you have 1000's of bomb, atomic power and lots of soldiers if no one needs war.. these thing are waste money and life and nothing. Why not all peaceful country have good military ? Because they don't want war and not want to spend there lot of money in defense but in developing country, making Economic growth, stopping poverty. If India spends less money in military they can stop poverty in the country.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Peace_Index

    India ranks 107 in 140 listed countries

    I am not against India but I think India should take more better steps to be a super power than just making the military powerful.

    Nice analysis, but I do not see the need to close this thread as it is being discussed indepth and not much mud slinging. One thing I would add is though military power is important for India especially when it is in such a volatile region; economic parity, the distribution of wealth between the rich and the poor is also of utmost importance. India being a growing economic powerhouse needs to ensure that the fruits of its economical growth filters down to those who need them most.

    I'm glad it's not Americans talking this crap. Hopefully the rest of my countrymen realize how bad it looks to be talking about being number one. You need to earn it every day.

    India has made progress in recent years economically, but the wheels are about to fall off that wagon. If India and Pakistan wage war, both countries can say goodbye to foreign investment.

    Pakistain and China are stronger than India. It would be wise not to provoke WWIII.

    China militarily and economically I would think so. But Pakistan I do have my reservations when you say they are stronger than India. From my knowledge, Pakistan is inferior to India both in terms of economic and military strengths. Unless of course you know something that I don't :)

    because pakistan and china don't show their power and technology to other but india did.

    For example: when pakistan tested its nukes 10 years ago everyone was got surprised that pakistan was working for it
