I would think it beats the capability of being nuked into oblivion by Pakistan. Ask 10 Indians and see which option they'd prefer.

Considering that most of the technology on a missile is general use (the rockets, fuel, electronics) and not only for weapons, yes I am indeed proud that my country has the capability to R&D and create such equipment without outside help.

As for the military might, Pakistan's past actions speak for themselves. Indians sleep better knowing that Pakistan has a lot to lose should they try anything.

We are proud of the technology achievements.

Don't forget that we are the only nation which hasn't invaded any other nation in a millennium.

If any thing we have nukes only as deterrents.

We have never started a war alone and never will, because we don't want to kill innocent civilians. But God forbid if we are attacked then we are human beings and we need to defend ourselves.

Yes.
