Developed countries, preventing development of other countries by unhealthy competition?

One aspect which is Interesting is how, whenever India achieves something that is commendable, the developed countries tend to trace it to some knowhow, quipment or man power that was provided by the west. It is greatly amusing, how the development of other countries scares and pierces the developed countries, turning them green with envy, esp, USA. For e.g., India became one of the four nations to have a satellite launch facility in 1980 with the launch of Rohini. Within a week, news originated from USA, Germany, and others that India had stolen it from USA. The technology was completely indeginious,it used sharing logic software for its first stage that was the first of its kind in the world. As for Scout, the American SLV from which was alleged the techbology was picked only the fifth launch had proved successfully, in contrast to the indian SLV. Another instance is Prithvi missile, which had used a particular gyo system, with an unique software, which nobody in the world had tried. It had other innovations too: including the thrust termination. Today, Prithvi is probably the best in payload capability. But the west couldn't bear to see India rising. Same was with the unique 'Agni' in which USA, and Germany wanted to take credit. Agni has an entirely new gudance technolgy, able to maneoivre the paykoad and the complete re-entry hypersonic flow was stimulated in the Computational Fluid Dyanamics in one of the best computers tht India had herself designed. It also uses a specially designed material. Same was with the Pokhran nuclear tests, that used an entirely new, innovative triggering mechanism. It is really amusing that the Americans think that it is only with their technology that the world can suceed. When will American learn to appreciate others achievements? When will they accept that they are not the best? When will they mature?
