Software controlled the take off maneuver, caused an over controlled pitch up attitude and stall recovery was too low.

There was no redundancy in the 737 MAX sensor hardware that detects stalling. Nothing to do with software written in India.

“Software controlled the take off maneuver, caused an over controlled pitch up attitude and stall recovery was too low.”

Software performed exactly as designed.

“caused an over controlled pitch up attitude “

Your ignorance is on display!

It was a sensor error, not a software error.

“caused an over controlled pitch up attitude “

MCAS cannot cause a pitch up, it ONLY pushes the nose down.

That is to counteract the pitch up caused by the engine placements and was a concern during steep turns to prevent the pilot from pulling into a stall.

MCAS will not activate if autopilot engaged.
