From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They can if they stop paying for what the vast majority of the world considers basic decency.
Lots of people care about starving children...
Not everyone is a psychopath.
But it's pretty telling you keep repeating Indian propaganda while claiming you live in a different country you won't disclose. Even though I never said the only people falling it were from India. In fact, I've said Modi did this explicitly to trick people from other countries.
I really don't understand what you're saying at this point...
It's like you're halfway understanding my comments and just know no matter what you need to defend Modi
No. They can't. Have you ever been travelling the world, where your ideology is derived not just based on what you read and taught? Not every country can afford and even if they can, have the technology to do space exploration.
Because I am being realist, to express my view without being bias; not like you. Yes, there are propaganda in play, but that's not the whole. story. At one point it about domestic interests i.e. to fulfill their locals needs. One the other hand is about national interests - to fulfill the need of their citizens by securing the country against external threats. And how do any country deal with this two needs is based on what they can afford. They can't simply let go of one aspect to concentrate on the other. There's a level of compensation to be made. That's basic knowledge - but it seems that you have a difficulty to understand that.
You don't seem to realize it, but the way you write is like you are a from a propaganda media being hired to bash on another country (India for this case) and to nitpick every little faults you can find. First you talk about India's (space technology) propaganda, then suddenly you dive 180-degree south talking about them starving their locals. It doesn't make sense to mix these two arguments together. It's like you try to go all out to prove the India are evil. It's like me telling you that you country is shitty for having big military and space defence budgets when the money should be allocated to you local citizens to eradicate homelessness, illiteracy, poverty, racial disparity and thousands of other problems in your country. But it would be stupid for me to say that for the same reason I stated before - your country needs to weigh its resources wisely between locals and national needs. But you don't seem to understand that. Or maybe you do understand but you don't really care because you're driven by your own little agenda.
