hey friends, i was browsing the net n found this info. I felt it really funny, so thought u guys shld also know it.
India named its first missile as Prithvi. Indian scientist say that they named it after elements of science, prithvi meaning earth. This series continued with other missiles being named as agni meaning fire and aakash meaning sky.
However Pakistan thought India named its first missile after PRC and so they named their first missile as Gauri bcos gauri had defeated prithvi.
And the funniest part is most of the pakistani missiles are named after muslim invaders to india:
babar, abdali.
