I'm pretty sure that snarky tone is standard in NY Times reporting and they'd have said the same thing if it was a US space launch.

- whydoyoucare 7y agoI do not know if it would be different had it been a US launch, but know for sure NYT has a history of trying to undermine any/all progress made by India, especially during the last term and the existing term of Narendra Modi Government. It appears the NYT journos know more about India than Indians, who elected Narendra Modi by landslide majority (last and this term). NYT regularly tries to highlight isolated incidents as communal rift (standard playbook on India).
- mav3rick 7y agoLynchings need to be highlighted regardless of the govt. So does the space program in good light. It doesn't have to be either / or .
