- Why Israel decided to revive Hebrew: “Reclaiming the Jewish homeland and righting the wrong of Roman imperialism that led to our exile isn't just about location, it is also about mindset. The mindset of Yiddish is the same as the mindset of willfully and passively going like sheep to the slaughter during the Holocaust and during pogroms prior. To truly stand up for ourselves and be a free people in our land, our language must truly be our own, not a bastardized mix of Hebrew and another language of our exile”.

F-35 is the worst possible choice for India, since not only is it horrendously expensive while not offering air superiority, but furthermore the US refuses to allow buyers to access the source code for the software of the fighter.
I agree, San.. it appears India didn't care about the technology gain from participating in FGFA development.
If not FGFA, fine.. let us go with the 4.5 gen Sukhoi 30 MKI, but not F-35, which, would not only be incompatible with existing systems, but also highly over-expensive, roumored to be not up to mark and over hyped but most critically, no access to source code and IFF (Friend or Foe indicator) cannot be costomised by us and US can deny us technology at critical juncture like during Kargil.
