How is that related to the space mission? Or are we trying to make this look like a Reddit comment section now? It’s an issue in India but that’s not relevant to their accomplishments in space exploration now is it?
It is when so much of their population struggles in poverty 🙃
Over 40 million Americans are living below the poverty line (12 million of those are children), that's 12% of the population of the country. To compare and contrast India's got 150 million people living below the poverty line with a population of 1.4 billion, that's 10% of their population. Yet we spend $33 billion on our space program. For those playing at home India's moon landing cost around $75 million.
To pull the poverty card on India for starting a space program that is lifting up their people's national self worth is just about the most imperialist thing you could do.
I swear I see some shit like that in every comment section for posts mentioning India. I don’t know why people can’t be negative about everything and celebrate the accomplishments without mentioning the flaws of the country. I assume the previous guys are trolling or just dislike India.
That's the spirit, lick the boot homie. Next you'll say Modi is a good leader
Lol I am a US citizen and have lived here for 95% of my life, keep coping with your endless hatred with no statistical basis. I don’t pay attention to Indian politics because that shit is a mess. I just dislike people pulling numbers of out their ass if they can’t provide a research paper or article from a reputable research institution to support their claims. Give me a source for your claims, I am willing to read it. Show me proof that Indias situation is worse than other countries. I attend a university in a place full homeless students due to an incredibly high cost of living in California. Tell me how much the Brits stole from India which led to that whole situation. If you can’t provide a source from an accredited academic institution (literally 99% of non-profit unis), then I am not willing to listen nor debate with people that stay willfully ignorant.
