All the starving Indian children are going to be so happy foreigners have a slightly higher opinion of Modi now!

What's 20 years of starving children compared to being the 4th country to land on the moon after no one else tried for decades?
He said India achieved it, not that Modi achieved it.
Then why don't you help feed them instead of posting in a platform through a device that very likely is using tech that came from space research operations?
Because then they don’t get to feel morally superior to everyone.
I love how there is always some dipshit lurking around here, stats at the ready, regardless of how relevant their outrage may be.
Ah.. this person is a complete utter Indian/Modi hater. Read their comment history. I've replied to them in a previous comment related to India space techs. He kept throwing arguments that I believed in a (supposedly) Indian propaganda and Modi kept his people starving backed this same reference. When I see this post I wonder if they would be here throwing the same hatred. Lo and behold, who have I found.
Edit. I've found their previous comment thread. Their comment began quite sound but getting ridiculous down the thread. According to them, It seemed no matter what, Indian space techs just an illusionary accomplishments where any other country can achieve (which is not true as my I put out a reply that my country can't, and likely so for many other countries) and India shouldn't invest in techs because their citizens are starving - which is ridiculous to me as we need to invest in knowledge to progress. Every country has to deal with countless domestic issues but that shouldn't stop them progressing technology wise.
He also uses alt accounts to spew the same anti-India shit. He needs to be banned
Just like Musk isn't responsible for the work the engineers at SpaceX have accomplished, Modi isn't responsible for the work the engineers in India have accomplished.
But Modi is the one that decides where funding goes...
He's also the one that decided India is exporting rice again, despite all the children starving. So prices go up, the wealthiest make money, and even more can't afford the remaining rice.
When the Brits exported rice during famine to make money, they were monsters...
When Modi does it...
He's still a monster. Unless you're a hypocrite, then it's somehow cool and a moon rocket makes up for it
This isn’t about Modi pal, stfu already.
