Whether importance should be given to indra???
I consider him as covart, jealous, lustful, joyous, selfish, egoish, irresponsible head who always needed wine and girls for bhoga. He independently doesn't have any power. He has the vajrayudha, given by thatheesi rishi, who sacrificed his life for welfare of devas. He has Airavatham and kalpakavrukhsham, which came by the united help of asuras, devas, snakes, and also mahavishnu. We cannot omit the help of parameswara also in this incident. He has the shakti of thunder, which is of no use to human society (For rain, the deva is varuna). He sometimes even lost his power to safeguard his own consort, indrani. And sometimes, even himself.
Whether such a god needs any kinda worship??? Hence, shri krishna stopped this indrapooja in brindavan too.
