Is India challenging with the US in spite of having a dire economy?

            The proposed start of warhorse missile- PSLV to explore Martian atmosphere is expected to be launched in the month of November, 2013. If the Rs. 450 crore Mars Orbiter Mission with the 25 kg scientific payload is launched, India will be swollen with pride to become sixth nation to explore the red planed after the US, Russia, Europe, Japan and China.

            It’s of course the most delighted and esteemed moment for India. But is it actually required to create such a competition with the US who launched ‘curiosity rover’? Possibly not. Lacking in fair economy and good governance, India has to sense twice before proposing it. 

            India has almost 30% of people below poverty line. The richer is getting richer and the poorer is getting poorer. There are more destitute in every parts of our country who needs basic necessities. India can spend Rs. 450 crore to explore Mars, but why can’t it spend few lakhs and construct a dwelling for them? 

            Every individual have to evoke and think of it and make others aware about the measures that can be taken to improve the economic status of our country.
