By that logic we should clap everytime North Korea launches a rocket.

And there's not really any "progress" here.

Modi has publicly said he's doing all this space stuff not for technological/scientific advancement.

It's a PR campaign to make foreigners think India is a world power. And to pay for it, he's letting the "lower caste" people go thru hell

Honestly, I thought people wouldn't be dumb enough to fall for it. But I guess Modi was right, here you are defending him

Modi can be relegated to the annals of history for all I care, your assertion that this program was a waste is blatantly incorrect. 40% of Indian children are malnourished compared to 17% in the US. Indians don't have to sell blood to survive, and primary care is available to all citizens. Rx prices are controlled, and abortion has been legal for decades, and recently has been made free as well. The govt doesn't have just one mandate, and this is an achievement of the space organization not politicians. No one is implying modi was actually sitting and working to land the space craft.
