I don´t need to be either of that to see that a country should have an aspiration to provide a certain standard of living (water that is safe to drink, basic health care and lots alike) for everybody before landing things on the moon.

But India has a deeply fucked up society which gives a shit about people from "the bottom" of that society, so I am not really wondered that they do some publicity stunt instead of getting their country fixed.

It seems like the cost of this program is a rounding error in India's budget. Getting rid of it won't give the poor water to drink.
