Sorry but this gets my Goat.
ISRO saves lives. Their satellites, gave us early warning during the Cyclones 2-3 years ago, allowing for rapid evacuation and relief.
They put food on our plates and help poor farmers plan crops because those satellites are the ones giving us excellent, world class meteorological data.
It's done on a budget so tiny, that the ROI for this division is possibly better than any other government department in India. AND - ISRO launches make money for the organization.
It's an example of excellence in challenging conditions, and everything that Nehruvian style engineering stood for.
They do India proud, and naysayers can be safely ignored.
