Good practice for ICBM development. India's current IRBMs can target all of China. The goal is to be able to target all of the mainland United States.
Absolutely!

#53I remember when in 2012, the then PM of India had declared this project. The entire internet community came together to deride this, saying it's not possible in a couple of years and that India had better feed its hungry etc. I am a very proud Indian today. This achievement, like other by humanity (LHC in particular), will encourage me to push myself towards greatness.

why the persecution complex ? Yes there was criticism, but there is always criticism of everything on the internet.
Another proud Indian.

Not a persecution complex. I did not argue then, I don't wish to deride anyone now. It's just that I feel good about this. Developing countries taking to space. Humanity is progressing.
