[🇮🇳] '25 yrs of progress undone': Analysts say today was the worst day in India-US relations in decades

[Krishna with Flute]

I still say Trump does have a point.. ye 175% or whatever import duty on imported automobiles, as an example.. is insane !

Same Harley ya Dodge whatever etc double in prices if an Indian wants to buy... 20 lakh ki gaadi 40 ki milegi.. why ? .. same on so many electronic items, and many others.. Trump does have a point, and I agree with him.. purely as a random consumer.

Personally most evident in computer peripherals, music instruments etc (things of my interest)

Yes that is true. It is foolish on our part. If we reduced the duty, nobody is going to buy US cars. Ford packed up from here.US cars are of inferior quality.

Just saw people arguing on YT on Tejas engine deliveries and told em that Tejas is probably the last thing down on the Indian priority list.

Safran had offered to build an engine out of offset money of Rafale purchase. Russia has offered batter RD 33 with AL 41 sort of technology. Roles Royce has offered partnership a long back. However, unfortunately, we take more time in decisions making than we take to develop actual product. Because of Missile technology control regime, we had no option but to make missile. So we developed missile ourselves and became missile super power. Same is the case with ISRO. However, our corrupt political establishment never allowed fighter planes to be developed to get hefty commission. Kaveri project was not funded. Consultancy was never allowed to be materialized.
