This week, India renounced their previous stance against the militarization of space and established a “space cell,” whatever that means, according to this Daily Times piece:

India has set up an integrated ‘space cell’ in the Defence Ministry to protect Indian satellites and to enhance their military and civilian capability.

Apparently this is mostly and defensive pose directed toward China to dissuade them from thinking about touching any of the Indian satellites. More power to them, I say. Really, I’m just a little bummed that the Indian government’s bid to parody Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars has still seems to have beaten a serious Bollywood bid to parody George Lucas’ Star Wars. For now, we’ll still have to all settle for this.
