"It looks that people and nations take credit for what they didn't give and discredit India for its success in self-reliance." Well, that happens because Indian companies need to collaborate with (and pay) American/European companies, even to make everyday items like plastic bottles, toys, sprinklers, can-openers etc. Look at what happened to Indian auto companies when they were left to themselves -- they made the same damn Ambassadors and Fiats (both of which are based on borrowed technology, btw) for decades. Self-reliance is not just the ability to make a nuclear bomb when you are given limitless money to achieve that objective. Indian companies have to learn to make, on their own, quality items that are affordable by the common man before the country can make any claims for self-reliance. Until then, all the talk about self-reliance is just that -- talk.
