Can India become Vishwaguru by 100% FDI in defence?

What??!! 100% FDI in defence.It can make us self-sufficient. But is this the way we're going to be self-dependent? Why not overhaul & reboot our own? Why will the americans/europeans give/use their latest & superior technology to benefit us Indians?? This might prove even worse than the European East India Companies of the then poor/fledging western world swarmed over bhAratavarsha and where ultimately the Britishers took over us. The decadent,decaying and economically defunct western world is in dire need of resuscitation to make them sustain their overlordship and this exactly what they need! And can we discount the Saudi and Chinese angles who are the biggest financial benefactors of the USA? Will not the jihadis and commies try to chew us up from within?? We Hindus/Indians never learn it seems.. If we go in modern history, we have to take note that in 1930s Germany became a self dependent industrialised nation,including defence production, in spite of many embargoes. At the same time simultaneously USSR became an industrialised nation,with defence production of course,from a backward nation in a span of less than two decades without any external help,again in spite of many embargoes imposed by west. In fact both the countries were beset with multiple internal problems as well as International pressures yet they succeeded. In current world, Communist China,formed in 1949(two years after our independence) was dependent upon USSR for almost everything but had to become self-reliant after the disintegration of USSR after 1991. Since last decade,China is now a leading producer of arms & weapons in world,in fact an exporter. Then we have to look upon Israel:a tiny country with a population hardly equaling Chennai city and district with practically no natural resources / raw material to build any industry whatsoever. It was founded with devastated jewish refugees and settlers only in 1948, one year after our independence,but its a success story in all spheres and is a leading exporter of weapons and defence technology. Then there are France and South Africa(RSA), though continuation of european colonialism,their defence output is almost solely for export as they being smaller countries do not need that much arms and weapons. And we are still dependent on foreigners for our own defence!!!??? Many people think that we will sideline US/UK etc and will take help of France/RSA/Japan/Israel etc for our defence production. People should know that all of these four are old NATO members who would not like an avowedly non-NATO state to be as well equipped in defence as them, even if they try to provide some equivalent technology USA will armtwist them into not doing so. When USA could armtwist the then USSR,its arch-enemy, into not giving the cryogenic engine technology to us, do we expect US will allow NATO states to go over the top in helping us with anything! And we should not,again,forget that the economically down western world,especially USA is a very big benefactor of Saudi Riyals and Chinese Yuans both of whom are fundamentally inimical to India. Its very complicated. Given all the permutations and combinations we will never benefit from FDI in defence. And can we imagine having a defence set up whose technology is created by some foreign country which can shut the entire system down at the mere click of a mouse!! Defence is sensitive and secretive security sector. That's why i oppose this move. Free market economy is a red herring. No capitalist country practices it itself. We need FDI,albeit for some span of time,not as a long run though in many other sectors. But defence should be strict zone for us only. Owing to the sensitive and secretive nature of defence sector there ought to be no role for any foreign entity to call its shots over us. Again,i repeat, we should not give the downcast western world an economic CPR to let them continue as overlords of us and the world. Its our century and we should make the best of it to become not just self-dependent in everything,including defence,but also become the world leader despite initial hiccups and hardships. We cannot become vishwaguru by begging alms of arms & technology for our own defence.
