I fail to understand what tech ISRO will provide to the Indian private industrial entrepreneurs so that the average Indian subsisting on poverty wages can work on, to feed his/her family.
I mean, if you Indians want to emulate China (which your BJP leaders are jumping up and down about all the time), you should follow China's lead.
China started thirty years ago with basic industries, basic wage jobs to export basic items like hammers, screwdrivers, shoes, clothing. plastic toys, tchotchkes.
Indian can't even largely make the components for basic cellphone consumables like Li-Ion batteries or SMT chip-populated cellphone motherboards. It has to import them from China. This is the industrial sophistication level of India.
WTH will sending rockets help with, giving Indians basic jobs? Except get Modi more votes?
It's just a Hindutva circle jerk to artificially feel good about India.
Fakery and escapism, if you ask me.
One can question the need for a nation to send an expedition to the moon when it is almost dead last on the World's hunger index and has lower per capita GDP nominal figure than a nation called Bangladesh.
Your need to artificially feel good about your country exceeds your auqaat.
The world can't respect India when it's leaders spend money on useless things like moon/mars missions and 250 foot statues.
As useless as fireworks when millions of Indians are going to bed hungry on empty stomachs.
Priorities buddy.
