No support for ISRO. Seems like just allocated money to keep running its offices.

It was Rs. 13,479 crores in 2020-21. So a marginal increase of Rs. 470 crores which is not bad given the circumstances. Also this year chandrayaan 3 and 1st unmanned mission for gaganyaan will be launched
Actually just an allocation of 6,000 crores. Rest is leftover from previous year and may go unspent even this year.

Modern paowala population there is all made up of we wuz goras n sheeit LARPists though.
I guess it's more because of the (((foreign tourist))) influence than anything else.
Probably more due to attitude of tourists than anything else. TBH most Indians go there to get drunk like fish & cause trouble. Now mix that resentment with romanticized retelling of the ''glory days'' of Portuguese rule and you have people wishing they were still colonized & cut off from rest of the country.

BTW a Goan Christian AVM commanded IAF during Op Vijay IIRC. We even have decorated Anglo Indians like Trevor & Denzil Keelor. Lets not get into questioning loyalties of whole communities there.

They will be considering arts, humanities & social ''sciences'' for funding BTW.

What is National Research Foundation?

Guess our valuable tax rupees will be put to good use, for funding ''cutting edge'' research on 'lesbian dance theory'.

Such LARP is also found by bourgeois urbanite Indian Hindus( atleast naam se ) also, in places like Quora or Reddit where you have cringe questions and threads like ((( Would India be better under British rule ? ))) with a surprising amount of fools actually agreeing, so it's not entirely restricted to Paowalas.


btw wouldn't be surprised if National Research Foundation ends up funding your generic JNU Lefticles most ironically, considering the "implementation" and decision to grant whom funding is in the hands of accursed Babooze who have their own agendas or interests first.

This is really a great thing. However, our stupid government believes that health means treating ills. Infact, health should be the measures that prevents people to fall ill. Awareness building and changing the habits to keep people healthy.

The cotton imports happen here because the imported maal is cheaper, or do the textile walas need specific grades or types of cotton that are not found in Bharat?
Egyptian cotton is imported. Used in a variety of soft cotton t-shirts. The texture is super soft and comfortable.
Friend is in touch with a manufacturer who makes these t-shirts and wholesales at Rs. 145 a piece. I usually pick up a bunch of them at a time to wear at home.
