Aero India 2015 got off to a rocking start with clear skies and a clear-minded PM Narendra Modi making his intent of business more than apparent, at the inaugural of the 10th edition of the event pegged to be the largest ever.
Metal band Metallica's song Unforgiven was played as the cover for what turned out to be a Modi rockshow. A lot of changes were more than apparent with even the flypast not taking its traditional turn.
"We have the reputation as the largest importer of defence equipment in the world. That may be music to the ears for some of you here. But this is one area where we wouldn't like to be number one! With security challenges and international responsibility, it's important for India to have greater defence preparedness and modernize our forces," he said.
Stern as always, Modi said: "So, as we look at these wonderful aircraft and enjoy the amazing flying, I also hope we can get some business done and sow the seeds of successful new ventures and partnerships to give our people new opportunities, to make our nations safer, and the world more stable and peaceful."
