Well to comprehensively explain the Syrian crisis in the simplest terms in a bit convoluted because there are many intertwined angles. But I will try to explain it in the most optimal way possible through basic questions that are associated with the ongoing geopolitical conflict.

“Great nations are not built on borrowed technology”. This is the statement of Vijay Bhatkar the man known as the architect of Indian IT industry and brain behind India’s first supercomputer PARAM. It was late 80s when America snubbed Rajiv Gandhi to deny the export of supercomputer Cray.

IBM was ready to make supercomputer in India but Ronald Regan then American President also didn't allow this. Then Rajiv Gandhi planned to set up Centre for Development of Advance Computing (C-DAC) in March 1988 on the recommendation of Scientific Advisory Council to PM.

And the buyers, then boasted of their military achievements - everyone was returning from campaigns with success.

The blacksmith said, “Meanwhile, you must learn war skills from a reputed master”. The young man returned after a year. Blacksmith handed him his sword. During the war, this man showed high war skills and conquered all of his targets. After sometime, he ret...
