Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

MADE IN INDIA ?



When you have to fight a war, you don’t plan on losing
You want to guarantee a “ win “ , by deploying your best soldiers and your best equipment
That is why , Government of India does not hesitate to buy the best military hardware from :

Ø  Russia       ( Tanks )

Ø  Germany   ( Submarines )

Ø  America    ( Fighter planes )

Ø  Sweden    ( Field Artillary  )

Ø  Israel       ( Radars / Drones )

Ø  France     ( Machine Guns )  ……etc

This is despite the fact that we have our own war equipment manufacturing establishments such as :

Ø  Government owned 41 Ordnance Factories

Ø  Private sector manufacturers such as Mazgaon Dock / L&T / M&M /

TATA group / Cochin Shipyard etc

It is no different when it comes to fighting a war on illiteracy / educational deprivation / digital divide / poverty etc

We must fight – and win this war , in shortest possible time

Even if that means , HRD Ministry has to partially import those 5 million Aakash3  tablets from anywhere in the World, while providing a level-playing field to our indigeneous tablet manufacturers

They have lots of time to gear-up for supplying 220 million Aakash4 tablets

This is not 20/20 ODI or Lok-Sabha elections. It is a war

“ Made in India “ shenanigans have no place in a war !
