By early 2019 and ISRO will launch its most ambitious mission till date the Chandrayaan-2 mission. The launch window is available between 03 January to 16 February 2019. It is going to result in a race with Israel, as they are also launching their Chandrama mission around the same time. So the World will witness the race as to which country becomes the fourth country in the world after Russia, US and China to do a soft-landing on the Chandrama surface.

The whole world is eagerly waiting for this likely photo finish race except one spec on this Planet. This Spec is an Honarary District of India, so named because of the number of Indians now occupying that place on permanent basis.This district is called Englishtan, which in the days gone by was known historically as Britain or United Kingdom or even as England.

The gora chaps of this Blighty District are quite furious at this Chandrama Mission of India ,because they think that it is their money which is being wasted around. This mighty district size Kingdom, it seems has pledged a grand sum of £98million in “ foreign aid to India” – while India will be spending almost the same amount on this Chandrma missions.

The Department for International Development …they happen to still retain such grand names and titles ……will give £52million to India this year and £46million in 2019/20 as part of “the aid budget”. Oh, we forgot, we need to send a few Indians into space also and for that money is required. So here comes the “Aid” for carring out the mission.

What is making them furious is that the Indian government is planning to spend a similar amount – £95.4million – on the Chandrama probe called Chandrayaan-2 .Where as per UK around 230 million Indians still live in poverty. They are certainly right, why should such large number still remain in poverty, even if the Indian land was looted for 200 years. Let bygone be bygone. Also untill then things like Chandrayan etc is prohibited for India.

So Tory MP David Davies, says: “The Indians don’t want or need our money. In effect we are sponsoring an Indian Moon launch. There is no suggestion the money will be used directly for the lunar space programme. “

Other MPs have reacted in anger at the news, because India currently gives more foreign aid than it is “ given “ despite the country’s problems with disease and proper health care.

In 2015/16, India received £254million in foreign aid – but gave away £912million.

Tory MP Philip Davies added : ‘Here we are spending money in a country that has not only got its own space programme but is developing its own overseas aid programme.To be honest, the Government needs looking at if its thinks that is an appropriate way of spending taxpayers’ money. It needs to get out of Whitehall and appreciate that the public is not just sick and tired of this but angry too. It is completely unjustifiable and truly idiotic.’

India’s Chandrayaan-2 orbiter aims to land a rover onto the Chandrama surface to collect data in January 2019.Design changes to the craft forced the space body to push the launch back, which was originally scheduled for this year, the Indian Space Research Organisation confirmed last week.

Chandrayaan-1, launched in 2008, orbited the Chandrama and sent a probe to the surface which made a controlled crash landing.

India also launched an orbiter to planet Mangal in 2013, which is still operational.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged last month that India will send a manned flight into space by 2022 during his annual ‘Independence Day’ speech.

The astronaut would be ‘carrying the national flag,’ he revealed during the 80-minute speech, which was broadcast live from the historic Red Fort in New Delhi.

Stepping up its race with China, India has invested heavily in its space programme over the course of the last decade.

However Blighty’s Department for International Development defended the decision, saying ‘traditional’ financial aid had ended and that it was working towards economic development in the country.

It said the £98million would ‘help stimulate prosperity, generate jobs, develop skills and open up new markets for both countries’…..grand aims, highly welcomed by India.
