Saudi Arabia is no doubt the most intolerant of all countries and for people from other culture living there is not easy since you have no democratic freedom to do anything that you are used to .. celebrate your festivities, watch films etc etc...I am not surprised that instead of opening up, they are going backwards in their thinking ! The only consolation is that Saudi Arabia has one of the lowest crime rates in the world because of its Sharia law !

Of course, every one is bond by the law of his own land. We as Indians need not be worried for ourselves unless we visit Saudi Arabia. But we are also concerned with people outside India and their human rights.

We have lot of temples, churches, and mosques which are our religious identity. What we need today, is a good education so by increasing the educational institutions we give good education which makes us unity by literate them. There is no partiality in education. Better Education by Best teachers who makes good country. Religious thought may separate the people but education which is the only choice to unite the people.

ISRO's TeleMedicine works in reducing the number of sick by not curing the diseases but by alerting the Medical Authorities to prevent the spread of diseases especially during natural disasters
Do you think my friend that countries like UAE < Germany and Switzerland and many more with a living standard 20 times of India and not doing this rocket launching have no access to this information? They have and mind you they do not consider a " Great power" by these launches.
I am a globe trotter and people in developed countries ask me about hunger and lack of nutrition for Indian masses. Not about rockets. I have a difficult time to explain.
For ISRO, though, it's a small step, is an attempt to make India self reliant in the Space technology. Don't you think it's an achievement ? Even Space technology giants like NASA appreciated the strides made by ISRO

No child ( evn one ) shold go to bed without enough to eat
Some time back we had a discussion on a similar topic, I guess you missed it. The fact is that whatever money goes into science research and 'rocketry', much much more money is poured into B grade films and cricket matches. People, including very poor people spend more money on Bollywood films and TV subscriptions. So what point will be in terminating these essential costs and what guarantee is that money reaches poor. Haven't we already turned more and more people onto beggars in numerous ways and make people more lazy? What about coming generations who would want to study science and make careers in that field? Have you given a thought to that?

Do you think that if our scientists stop investing this money on researches, then that money will reach poor? No way, the condition of people in our country is due to the mismanagement of our governments. By doing these researches India is going ahead in the world. Comparing our research with other countries is not a wise step. ISRO by launching satellites for other counties earns much amount that it can invest on the forthcoming projects.
