Why do we need warships from India, when we can get QUALITY products from China.

ALL India does is to dump unworkable, INFERIOR products & Lanka has become a dumping grounds for for Indian useless products. Warships are no exception....J

All imports including the Green grams and other grains like kadala. kurrakkan should be immediately band. So that we could eat our local production such as manjokka and pollase.
