India on a Mission to Mars.

India has become the first Asian nation to embark on a space journey to Mars.

At the cost of $72 Million, this has been tagged as the cheapest space program ever embarked upon by any nation.

This is great…isn’t it?


Well…except that this is a country where lots of poor people fight over tiny spaces on major streets every night just for opportunities to lay their mats and sleep. Whenever a vehicle approaches, those on its path will hurl insults on the driver even as they scramble away temporarily from the road. 

As soon as the vehicle drives past, the poor folks will begin fresh battles for the spaces on the road. Worse, India has the highest child mortality rate in the whole, wide world!
