Sir — India has planned to send a space vehicle to study Mars. The cost of this venture is reportedly several hundred crores of rupees.
Is it not foolish for a poor country like India, where the price of onions has touched `100 per kg, to spend such vast amounts of money on a scientific expeditionIJ We have enough problems, from corruption to lack of governance, that need to be fixed. The country must not get involved in projects that do not directly benefit its millions who struggle for the basic necessities of life.
