27 मार्च 2019 का ए-सैट परीक्षण
भारत ने आखिरकार उपग्रह रोधी प्रौद्योगिकी (ए-सैट) का परीक्षण कर ही लिया। भारत की क्षमता दर्शाने के लिए यह परीक्षण काफी पहले से किया जाना था और वह प्रदर्शन आधुनिक प्रौद्योगिकियों के संदर्भ में किया गया। यह जमीन से करीब 300 किलोमीटर ऊपर पृथ्वी की निचली कक्षा में चक्कर लगा रहे उपग्रह को गति में रहते हुए खत्म करने (काइनेटिक किल) का परीक्षण था। इस परीक्षण और अंतरिक्ष में इससे संबंधित सभी गतिविधियों की सफलता भारत के उदय में निस्संदेह महत्वपूर्ण संभावना की तरह है क्योंकि इससे भारत को भी अंतरिक्ष अन्वेषण और हस्तक्षेप में अहम मुकाम मिल गया है।

This historical misconception would have had no significance had it not been quoted repeatedly by authors and scholars.

Shangri-La Dialogue-2019 - Implications for India’s Security Policy
Recalling Queen Victoria’s diamond Jubilee in 1897, Arnold Toynbee had remarked, “Here we are at the top of the world. We have arrived at this peak to stay forever. There is off course, this thing called history”.
