"I know its been a bit controversial."
Curious, what do you know? Did you mean controversial in western media? In that case, yes, I agree.
The local media (and people) see this as something to be proud of, there is not much debate about the money being useful elsewhere.
- bogomipz 10y agoYes in the Western media that's exactly how its been reported which is why I asked what the local coverage has been. I don't get local Indian coverage where I live and this is a place to discuss things no? Why is asking a question and being interested in the subject offensive?
- maverick_iceman 10y agoYou can find a lot of Indian media online e.g. [1] thehindu.com [2] swarajyamag.com [3] firstpost.com ...
- praneshp 10y agoIt's not offensive to me. I didn't downvote you. As an Indian, I can see why some others could've found it offensive. Anytime ISRO does a newsworthy launch, some Western newspaper writes that the money could be used to build toilets. Sometimes, the newspaper is a rag, but Indian media prefers to cover that (sometimes more than the launch itself). So it's a touchy point. If I had not had my coffee, I'd probably be offended too. I think you were unlucky (vs having said something offensive).
- gautamsomani 10y agoThey are just jealous of us. And scared that we are getting better day by day, threatening their supremacy. Hence the suggestion of building toilets from space money ...
- praneshp 10y agoI disagree, but thanks for playing.
- witty_username 10y agoYou can find Indian by going to Google News and selecting India edition. There are many newspapers with websites.
