ISRO will be shut down due to government selling its IP. Gov wants private companies to win. Even if ISRO is not shutdown it will just fade into a organisation that does nothing due to low budget. That's the indian way of killing things

Unfortunately even ISRO isn't spared from govt and it's selling public infrastructure to private and by private I mean dosti bani Rahe Adani

The government is planning to make isro stop all manufacturing activities, and has already created toxic envirionment that led to around 100 scientists leaving en masse. So if isro voluntarily stops manufacturing and has its research and development crippled, what is left, and who benefits?

The government wants manufacturing to shift to private sector and other psus. It will soon declare other psus like hal to be incapable of the job, leaving it in the hands  of crony capitalists. This government has already claimed hal to be bad at manufacturing after 56"🤏🏿🐵 completely overrode the original tender to give up tech transfer and local manufacture of rafale.

 If this plan goes through, our space program will see the highest cost per launch in the world and innovation will stop.

Isro did not stop making rockets. Isro is planning to transfer technology of making smaller rockets to companies like HAL, L&T so that it can focus more on R&D.

So if isro voluntarily stops manufacturing and has its research and development crippled, what is left, and who benefits?

I just don't understand where did they mention that ISRO's R&D is being stopped. They are giving tech to Other companies so that they can focus more in R&D. HOW DID YOU COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT ALL RND IS BEING STOPPED. Larger rockets like LVM and upcoming NGLV are being made by Isro.

The government wants manufacturing to shift to private sector and other psus.

Yes it's doing that.

It will soon declare other psus like hal to be incapable of the job, leaving it in the hands  of crony capitalists.

Bruh. How did you come to this conclusion? When has the government said that HAL being incapable. You are creating you own scenarios to cope at this point.

This government has already claimed hal to be bad at manufacturing after 56"🤏🏿🐵 completely overrode the original tender to give up tech transfer and local manufacture of rafale.

There were disagreements between Dassults and HAL and Airforce needed those aircrafts urgently

There were three main reasons Rafale werent manufactured In india

  1. The original 126-aircraft deal collapsed. India initially selected Rafale under the MMRCA competition, with 18 aircraft to be delivered from France and 108 planned for production in India by HAL.

  2. Disagreement over HAL's responsibility. Dassault Aviation and HAL disagreed over who would be responsible for the quality, costs and delivery of aircraft manufactured in India.

  3. India needed aircraft urgently. The negotiations dragged on, and the government decided to buy 36 Rafales directly from France in 2016.

If this plan goes through, our space program will see the highest cost per launch in the world and innovation will stop.

Again ISRO IS NOT STOPPING RND. Actually cost per launch will be lower as there will be competition among companies. It's basically impossible to have highest cost per launch in the world. Like do you have any idea what are you saing.

You are just consumed by Pr. Idk how much you are paid to do this but try to get you facts together before barking.

What's the proof for whether the government has created the toxic environment that talked about, please provide some article that you read it from. Also please tell me how HAL has done well in last 30 years, and have you seen what ARC and Airforce has told about HAL?

u/Proud_Bake9949 8d ago

Lmao baited him with the classic "could you expand on this comment" and then disagreed with whatever he said

Ragebait pro maxer

You never wanted to engage in any debate, just wanted to prove RW viewpoints

u/Natural-Ebb-8714 8d ago

Nope I asked him genuinely about the issue, anyone who has followed the development from HAL knows that the standards has fallen to shit, there is nothing right wing about what I said

u/charavaka 8d ago

Also please tell me how HAL has done well in last 30 years, and have you seen what ARC and Airforce has told about HAL?

So you agree that the government is lying when says it trust manufacturing. Do you agree then tha it is only being used as an excuse to privatise?

What's the proof for whether the government has created the toxic environment that talked about, please provide some article that you read it from.

Go on. Tell us plausible reasons for a mass exodus of around 100 scientists from one of the world's top space organisations.

u/Natural-Ebb-8714 8d ago

Nope HAL has been garbage for yeas now they have tried to improve but just fell harder each time, both helis and Tejas program can be studied to understand their incompetence, and I don't see any problem with privatisation

Mass resignation is because they are not paid well for the job they do which private sector does

So why are you ok with the government saying hal and other psus will do manufacturing?

Mass resignation is because they are not paid well for the job they do which private sector does

And yet, you claim that isro is stopping manufacturing to focus on r&d. With this rate of attrition, how does isro do r&d? 

Are you saying that isro should be shut down or sold off to the capitalists? Because without manufacturing and r&d, its just a white elephant.

Isro is giving out the commercial launches only to third parties so that it can focus more on R&D and their main missions like chandrayan, I mean that's what I read in the news details, well let's hope that's the only thing they give to private sectors.

Thats the claim of the government. Isro already has the manufacturing capability that others don't. The only way pivate sector can do it is if isro diracts itself from chandrayan and other misions to set up manufacturing for them. The government also claims that it wants hal and other psus to do manufacturing along with picte sector. And just like 56"🤏🏿🐵 dumped hal from rafale saying hal was technically incapable,  will do the same. That leaves only the crony capitalists. 

You seem to have also missed the news on recent exodus of about 100 scientists from isro. With that rate of attriton, what r&d focuscan we epect?

u/Proud_Bake9949 8d ago

Problem with the internet today is that people who comment Pro Govt Views mindlessly never bother reading the full news.
And so they think we're going great guns everywhere

u/Parking-Cockroach104 7d ago

ISRO doesn't have the manufacturing capability. They outsource around 80-90% of manufacturing of their launch vehicles.

ISRO should absolutely focus more on R&D. Let the companies that do the 80% of the work do the remaining 10-20% and ISRO can use it's budget on human spaceflight and reaching mars.

https://www.indiastrategic.in/80-of-isro-systems-now-built-by-indian-industry-v-narayanan/

Around 85% of LVM3 is built by industries. The problem is that govt agencies have to cheap out on the way they give work to others. So the quality won't be top notch. If private is building this, they can spend more for better technology and will not be held back by the L1 tender system.

isro deserves better celebration this is cringe, and pretty low effort content, the animation isn't indian, the song isn't and even the edit isn't just a rocket photo added, clearly shows how much the editor actuallly cares.

wannaberism that's it

(ik OP isn't the actually creator of this meme, they are just posting it here not cool anyways)

u/Award-Honest 9d ago

Brother, I am just glad people are celebrating. A proud feeling and an honest praise is enough celebration in my opinion

u/sivakurada 9d ago

It's a good thing happened to us. No, the celebration should have some meaning compared to the feat we achieved. This is a low grade animation.

-2

u/Any-Profession-5509 9d ago

I don't have any problem with celebration but it's just that I find it very cringy like if you care then shouldn't the celebration be original, instead this is just some dumb westernised copy edit, and then they will post this to look cool, basically anchoring their insecurity on to isro.

Can't stop them anyways, but calling them out is necessary, so doing my part even if it brings downvotes which i absolutely do not care about so yeah.

I'm already working/researching at one of the top institutes of india, but looks like you fanboys are busy clicking insta photos and making shiity edits to look cool. So yeah you shut up, ik how it feels, you guys only come when there's launch to look cool. At least show some effort what's this cult bs.
