In a country of 1.2 billion, there will many, many people who are talented way above average. Someone is a natural theoretical physicist. Others are mathematicians, rocket scientists, or maybe just great electronics and computer engineers. Or great artists. While it is criminal that many people are suffering like you describe, it is also a (smaller)crime that the talented folks above are denied an outlet. What should they do? Why should they suffer just because the country as a whole has failed to solve poverty and caste issues for centuries? It is of no use to anyone that these people sit around twiddling their thumbs. Not all of them can leave the country. The relatively minor amount allocated for Indias space program is well spent.
