A probe into the South Pole.

The Russians failed at it the other day. India trying today.

Still a stretch to manned craft, didn’t the last one crash?

I'm so glad that India, the 46th poorest country in the world (out of 177) has successfully spent so much money to achieve this. They must have sorted out all the poverty, hunger, famine, poor education and inequality. Good for them

All the capitalist countries are the same - but Indians are better, unlike all western countries that don’t know what they want from migrant issues to homelessness, at lest they know what they want. Bear in its not 100 years since it came out of British Raj where so much was looted that still goes unaccounted and without any proper discussions. Yes there is an income disparity but which part of the world it does not exist. Have you seen how many people depends on food bank here in UK? Indian government gives all people living under poverty line free groceries and ration every month, and they have launched a huge welfare programs including right to house, right to gas etc etc. Now next argument would be why so many Indians are here when their country is so flourishing, my ask is why so many brits live all over the world when everything is going hunky dory in this country. Every major company wants to enter India, entire world wants to have trade agreement with India that explains a lot. Yes india is poor but they produce huge number of highly skilled resources, they earn and contribute back in society. Pick 10 journals on any subjects you will find Indian names. Check which immigrant diaspora is rich monetarily and education wise percent wise you will find Indians, check who claim the least of the benefits in percentage terms, you will find Indias. So you can say whatever you want, but that thing you mention no country on this planet eradicate, this is a world design to be for some people to suffer( hell) and some people to enjoy ( heaven). There is no other place where you get your dues of your Karma it’s here..so yes we can help in reducing the pain and suffering but cannot eliminate this completely.

On the backdrop of Moon mission, One racist bigot on times news channel even tried to ask British government to rethink about their charity support to India to stop it..without doing proper research this is what happens…UK entities send money to the charities, NGOs and Churches in India…why …to spread Christianity, they don’t send money to India to for them to elevate their space program. I would also urge every entity in UK to stop sending money to India. UK need it here to built more houses for homeless people and also to ensure that there is a food on the table in every household.

All well and good, but the fact remains that India is currently one of the poorest countries on Earth. The money spent on this mission would have been sufficient to open 2 1000-bed hospitals. That's not just building them, but equipping and staffing them.

Experts forecast India will grow by 6% and its tech stocks by around 12% over the next few years, as it becomes one of the leading emerging markets in tech, with widespread digitalisation and fibre and high levels of education and spoken English.

At least that’s what the man at HSBC Jersey is telling me.

Have you been to India recently? There are more hospitals and diagnostics Centes all over the country. You get same day or next day appointment with doctors. Diagnosis is done within a day or max two days, whatever the ailment you are struggling with. Doctor even share their WhatsApp so that you can talk to them. Again that logic of opening more welfare programs is foolish. You cannot stop your growth at the expense of that. Everything has its own place, welfare programs are for poor and Chandayaan is for economy which you need to generate more money to fund those welfare programs. I think you must visit India and live there for 3/4 months to understand where India is heading under the current government.

Scientific and engineering progress is what allows things like hospitals to exist in the first place.

Also, for endeavours like this, the money doesn’t just disappear into a hole never to be seen again.

It’s used to pay the workers in industries involved in the project, from Rocket scientists to factory cleaners

On the lighter note - Indians might not be so high in demand or present here in swinging world but they are spending their time to grow their country and also contributing massively to UK economy. Blair era immigrants had their offspring here and that entire generation will be in the market in next 10 year time and you will see more and more Indians in each and every org holding senior positions and running large businesses.

To be fair most countries use WhatsApp and apps now to deliver government services because it’s efficient. People in the UK have this myth that uk is technologically ahead of Asia and Africa when it’s falling way behind on services. In Dubai there no mail , there’s no letterboxes on doors anymore. The mail comes to you , whatever location you share on WhatsApp and the fingerprint app authenticates it’s been handed to you.

But even in uk if you have private health, and any tests, results are shared same day on WhatsApp. It’s only the NHS that’s slow because everything is fine on paper.

India has UPI gateway - even street vendors use it as they don’t have to pay to Visa and Mastercards or big banks for money exchanges - it’s high in demand even German finance minister wants it, Dubai has already procured it from India. Can UK government implement something like that? UK is failing and falling behind in digital modernisation race and I am scared to say that with the advent of practical AI, it will fall more behind in overall growth. Too much bureaucracy and red tapish everywhere.

There's so much wrong in this post. I don't know where this type of view comes from.

The USA spends more on its military than the next highest spending country's combined. Add the Nasa spending and it comes to $858 billion. While it has nearly 600,000 homeless, 30 million with no health insurance.

The UK has a growing homeless and food bank problem.

Yet when these countries do something successful its always celebrated while the budget cost and suffering aforementioned is conveniently forgotten.

Yet when India or China do the same thing, issues of poverty or human rights are more important than the success story.

Is this coming from a actual of genuine concern. Or is it a conscious or subconscious bias of former colonised and poor countries rising above their station and not staying in their place. Which for some is alway below and behind Western countries.

No, there's nothing wrong in my post. This view comes from someone who is NOT comparing India to any other country financially or in any other way. I spent 6 months in the Bihar region in 2019 on a Red Cross medical mission. Malnutrition levels were such that untreated ulcerated wounds were leading to limb amputations, which doesn't happen when basic nutrition is available. I'm sure there are millions of people in India today who would rather feed their children than find water on the moon.

I appreciate your honest views and where they come from. I agree with this view if all countries adopted it. The reason for my first reply was that the argument is used by biggots frequently.

Unfortunately the capitalist system is widening the gap between the very top and the bottom. Not just in developing countries but here at home too.

That’s is a problem but problems do exist here as well, may be at a different scale. Does that mean government should stop all the development work and spend its last penny in public welfare until it eradicates the problem, and then when you run out of money then what? Become beggars in front of IMF or World bank?? You got to understand the fundamental, that is money is needed to make more money, if it is not there, you cannot offer what you currently offering in welfare. India is taking pragmatic approach and is rising and with this rise every year millions of Indians are rising above poverty line. World needs to stay patient and don’t start judging the motives of Government of India, it will show the world what governance mean when it comes to helping poor, thay have shown it when Covid hit them. When entire west was showering it’s people with helicopter money, india ensure that no one goes to bed hungry, they did not offer cash but offer food and shelter, that helped India, the problem that you are seeing here with rising inflation, does not exist in India at this scale. Additionally india is ensuring that people know a skill or two so that they can earn their bread and pass that skill on to next generation. Where west restricts a unstructured businesses, india promotes it, you can find them in every nook and corner of the street, that helps a lot of people in elevating their lifestyle. So the indian growth story is super strong, but yes, with size and scale of India, it will take some time but eventually india will be there..plus they are one of the major investors in UK economy. Please check the stats..this will help UK a lot in long run..that is a reason why UK wants trade deal with India, entire whisky industry will boom in here in UK the day they get free trade deal..
