The cryogenic upper stage you spent decades building was your own GSLV’s CUS, born from necessity. The cancelled 1992 deal denied you not an engine, but time—a decade of delay in your space ambitions. From where I stood in those chaotic post-Soviet corridors, it was not malice but the heavy hand of American pressure that forced our withdrawal. I remember shredding the draft of a joint technology statement, the paper as cold as the politics—we denied you a shortcut, but made you forge a stronger path yourselves.
