Money talks. Islamic countries with no oil walk.
Arm race has always existed since human’s very ancient time. Everyone got their own right to form their arm forces as long as they don’t invade other country or irresponsibly develope superweapons. But what India has done is not an attitude as a powerhouse nation.
Compare to Pakistan, India got more than enough technology and resources to manufacture their locally made military equipment. And if India really fear that Pakistan will eventually outpower them than why they don’t make something better for their arm forces in return instead go and pressure another party to stop their trade.
History as shown that a nation achieved their greatness it’s not because of weapons or populations, but the heart and mind of the leader and the peoples alike. India do have resources and population but unfortunately, they don’t have a heart as a powerhouse nation. Mainland China also under the embargo for a long time after the 1989 incident, but they continue to live on and still progress.
