Strength respects strength.’
In the period following World War II, as nations focused on developing their economies, security has come to mean more than just protecting borders. Other forms of security—food and economic security—have come to be of as much importance.
The term ‘strategic industries’ refers to industries that give India a decisive advantage over a broad range of areas and not just in a military context. Building strategic technology or industries today will find day-to-day applications two decades from now. It thus becomes imperative to develop these so that the future generation of Indians have new worlds to conquer and not struggle with challenges of the past.
In India and its Potential, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Y.S. Rajan highlight the possibilities that our country has yet to act upon, paving the way towards sustainable development.
