If Indian history has taught us anything it is the fact that economic progress has little meaning without a strong militarily to back it. India was one of the richest countries in the world till 17th century.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_count...t_GDP_%28PPP%29
Yet from 9th century onwards till 17th century India was subjected to regular Islamic invasions which resulted in massacre of 80 million Hindus and more than 300 million Hindus being forcibly converted to Islam. Then again under Portuguese rule in Goa thousands of Hindus, who refused to convert to Christianity, were literally burnt at the stake.
Brit rule in India resulted in millions of people losing their lives in Bengal famine, thousands more Indians were brutally hanged after 1857 uprising and we still havenât forgotten what happened in Jalianwallah bagh etc. Also it must be noted that by the time Brits left India, they had reduced India to one of the poorest nations on the planet.
Even after independence, Pakistan invaded and illegally occupied POK, China invaded and occupied Aksai-Chin in 1962. Even today both China and Pakistan want to grab more of Indiaâs land (Arunachal Pradesh, Kashmir etc). The fact is India still is surrounded by hostile neighbors, who have evil designs on India, so India needs powerful armed forces & also an effective nuclear deterrent in the years to comeâ¦
Therefore no.1 though India is becoming economically prosperous with each passing day but such economic progress will have little meaning if India remains militarily weak. No.2 Economic and military progress are not mutually exclusive but have to happen simultaneously.
Let me also add here that lowly creatures like Commies, evangelistâs flunkies as well as Islamic terrorists are a cross between animals and eunuchs. These ***holes have sold their soul to the devil for a few crumbs and all they can now do is abuse India and Hindus.
