They exported 7 dhruv helicopters. To Ecuador. 4 of them crashed and 3 had to be scrapped for major safety issues. Indian military hardware will kill the user before it ever kills their enemies.

Indians live in hell like conditions so they choose to believe in fantasies instead because reality is too hard to deal with. Indians rely on that spiritual opium and lies of superpower to get thru the day otherwise they can't look at themselves in the mirror.

Yeah - if the hell is 4th largest economy of the world... Than, we are okay with that.

If you wish, we need to better lives and go world bank for getting 1-2 billions loan, that enjoyment life is Mubarak ho apko, we don't want.

If you want us to buy 1 litre petrol in 350rs, wo life Mubarak ho apko, we are poor people, okay to buy 1 litre petrol in 110rs

Mate your economy is trashed your not 4th you dropped to 6th because your rupee crashed and your IT sector ravaged by AI. Give people clean drinking water, clean air and a few toilets might be stronger priority no?

India has slipped to the sixth-largest global economy behind Japan and the United Kingdom according to International Monetary Fund data, reaching a nominal GDP of roughly $4.15 trillion. This change stems from currency depreciation and statistical updates rather than an actual economic slowdown. [1, 2, 3]
