There's a special version of Godwin's law. Any internet discussion involving India mustn't fail to mention the caste system

Yes. Next question would be - shouldn't India tackle poverty instead of space program first.

Promoting science and engineering while creating jobs in both fields is one way to tackle poverty. And a space program is doing just that.

It's probably not the single most effective measure against poverty, but it doesn't seem like the worst thing to do either.
