So India has just set off a rocket to Mars
 

Yet the UK still sends India £200m in aid each year (supposedly ending in 2015). At a time when our services here in the UK are being destroyed because we apparently have no money to sustain them.

Incredible...

Knowing Indians, they probably just sent up a firecraker or something and then said they sent it to mars.

"But Sirs. We did aim it at Mars. It is not our problem if it does not arrive, you did not tell us that it had to arrive."

i thought it was hoax.
but looks like waste of money , its not gonna land on mars. its satellite i guess.

so they should stay in cave age?

What a waste of money when people there are starving

It was NASA out sourcing our space program.

Look at it this way, the UK has just given India £200m to put a lump of metal into space

There will be a corner shop on Mars by the end of the week - Maybe 2 weeks - They need to find a corner first...

The UK give India 200 million a year as a form of bribery to try and secure trade contracts worth shitload more, but as the Indians chose French planes to update their airforce, the UK got pissed off and stopped the aid.

200 Million.. thats less than 1/2 a Scottish Parliament. :)

it is something like .5% of their budget

Incredible India

'£6.3 billion warplane deal, despite the Development Secretary, Andrew Mitchell, saying that Britain?s aid to Delhi was partly ?about seeking to sell Typhoon.?'

it's bribe money.

You'd think they'd put it towards proper sewage systems first.

India is hardly short of powerful minds or ingenuity. They are a nation that holds nuclear weapons,the world's largest democracy and a vast diaspora with western educations that are now returning in larger numbers than before. Underestimating their potential is a mistake.

Yes. All Indians own and build corner shops. Bood bood. Move along the bus please.

Racist much?

:2 cents::2 cents:

plus the food is incredible

:)

Never been to canadialand, but indian food in LA is fucking shit. I've tried about 6 different places, all of which were highly recommended, all of which were worse than dogshit.

I've been reading about this. Good for India. I read an article the other day of someone defending their space program, saying it was .03% of their yearly national budget. I found that interesting.

I like to see other countries doing stuff like this.

what? aliens need tech support. there are 300 indian operators packed in the rocket. the smell is going to be bad when they get there.

the worlds largest democracy and also the largest amount of people living in poverty. it hardly seems democratic when tons of money goes into building temples while millions starve. its a joke. another culture where religion and old values (caste system) are holding them back.

Yeah, most Indian food in LA stinks. I have found a couple places that aren't bad but they aren't great either.

I was told a similar joke by a good friend of mine - Why don't Indians play football? - Every time they get a corner they open a shop on it...

He is Indian - Yes, they have a sense of humor as well.....

You'd think nobody has met a doctor of engineer that is originally from India. Of course, they all work in call centers.

I heard that they was going to send up a manned mission next, a 6ft square capsule - it'll have 178 astronauts in it and it'll touch down back on earth in the Midlands, UK, right next to the benefits office.

there is secrets.. if it's a 'nice place', chances are the food is good and 5x more than it should be.. what you want to do is find a 'middle/lower' place, that is very very clean. This is a fresh family, and the food is unbelievable, and they haven't figured out they can charge 5x more..

it also helps dating indian chicks

roti and dahl, home made, you could very well end up married

they seem to all drive cabs in vancouver :disgust while being more excited about hockey than i am
