    Pretty sure those two things are unrelated. It’s possible to do science, and have social safety nets. Let’s at least not be disingenuous here about the issue.

      Especially when ISRO’s entire budget is less than half of one per cent of India’s federal government budget. Uttar Pradesh’s government budget alone is fifty times ISRO’s.

      Oh…

      You think they have the money/resources to do both and just choose not to help those areas filled with the people on the bottom rung of India’s caste system?

      I’ll be honest, I didn’t think Modi would be that evil… But your right, maybe he wants the children in those areas to starve to death and that’s why his government won’t help even tho they can

        You’re up on your high horse about it. But it does happen in other countries. No reason India would be different.
