Modi Co-opting Chandrayaan-3 Success For Hindutva Propaganda?

[Abdul Rehman Majeed]

This landing moon for India is like a gamble. It is not repeatable.

They may be able to repeat it again and again as it is fake.

Your head is fake lol its real every country of the world giving congratulations to India on this marvelous achievement lol

Your head is fake lol its real every country of the world giving congratulations to India on this marvelous achievement lol

You can make out from the faces of their scientists that it was faked.

Indian scientists declared even before the launch that it will be 100% successful.

Even NASA and ESA would not be so confident.

The only reason why Indians were confident was that they were faking the entire mission.

Animated Clip Of Blue Moon Lander Viral As Chandrayaan-3 Landing

MSN

An animated video showing a lunar lander landing on the moon is viral on the internet as a footage of Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander, which landed successfully on the lunar South Pole on August 23, 2023.

BOOM found these posts to be false; the video going viral is actually an animated clip of the unmanned Blue Moon lander, made by American aerospace and defence company Blue Origin.

Following the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the internet has been flooded with false claims around the mission, along with the individuals involved in it. BOOM has fact-checked multiple claims on old or unrelated videos and images being falsely linked to the mission.


A user shared the video on Facebook Reels, with a Hindi text caption, that translates to English as, "Today India will make history. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat." Click here to view the reel, and here to view an archive version.

We also found the same video being shared on YouTube, with captions claiming it to be a footage of the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

BOOM ran several keyframes of the video on Google's reverse image search, and came across several articles about a large lunar lander called Blue Moon, made by Jeff Bezos-owned aerospace and defence company Blue Origin.

Blue Moon is a series of lunar landers, that have been designed to carry both cargo and humans to the Moon, and are being developed by Blue Origin, along with other companies like Boeing, Draper and Lockheed Martin.

The articles contained images of the lander, which matched the lander in the viral video.

One of the search results was a document by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) providing Lightweight Surface Manipulation System overview for Blue Origin landers.

We compared the image of the Blue Moon lander from the NASA document, and found it to be an exact match with the lander in the viral video (see comparison below).

Taking cue from this, we did a Google search with the keywords "animated video Blue Moon landing", and came across a YouTube video titled, "Meet 'Blue Moon' - Blue Origin's Lunar Lander Animated", uploaded on May 10, 2019.

Looking through the video, we found that the viral video has been made by extracting several clips from this animated video.

We also found the exact same video uploaded on the official YouTube channel of Blue Origin.

Internet is a free for all. Obviously, there are plenty of idiots who take any footage laying around and post it claiming whatever they want. The real footage has been provided by ISRO. ISRO has provided complete assembly sequence of the project: https://www.isro.gov.in/chandrayaan3_gallery.html

H1B's hardly get paid the same as US Citizens because they have few options. Probably less than a third.

Dude! How many times do you want to be called on your lies? clearly, you are a low life!
Every H1-B has to be paid by a wage determined by the department of labor. Nobody can be paid less!!!

Your Hindutva brothers and sisters - the claimants of having more "brains" and "talent" than Pakistanis, are the biggest schmucks on the planet for swallowing Modi's Godi Media propaganda, hook, line and sinker. Your supposed "pseudo-intellectual" and "holier than thou" post notwithstanding.

@RiazHaq bhai may be too nice to engage with your ilk - but I am not. India is home to far more insidious, malicious (and ridiculous) race-baiting propaganda which is the guideline MO of the incumbent political party ruling India right now. The domain of low-lifes ruling over sub-humans.

Your ire befalls @RiazHaq bhai because he shows your ilk with pointed fingers what your shortcomings are, which you won't acknowledge. After serving under Muslims for some 600 years and under the British for another 200, your branding as Hindutva slaves are complete, which you Sanghis prove on a daily basis.

Your wish to get out of the "slave" moniker by aggrandizing everything about India is a farce, because the world knows where India stands on everything. Your fake Hindutva bravado has takers only in India.

Being a Bangladeshi, we bad mouth our country and challenge our leadership all the time, despite our per capita GDP nominal being higher than that of yours in India. These are the marks of independent free-spirited human beings worthy of the name.

However you small-minded bhakts will never do the same to Modi or your Hindutva bandwagon. Mindless slavery personified. Once a slave, always a slave.

Enough said on who has more "brains" and "talent"....

Yada Yada Yada!

Bangladeshi don't have the aptitude to do anything in STEM! That is your frustration!
It's ok dude not everybody is born with the same brain capacity.

India Made It to the Moon. That Doesn’t Make It a Top #Industrial Power. #Chandrayaan3Landing will not move big roadblocks on #India’s path to becoming a top industrial power. #Modi's “Make in India” hasn’t done much. #MakeInIndia #manufacturing #BJP

India Made It to the Moon. That Doesn’t Make It a Top Industrial Power.

Landing on the moon’s south pole was a considerable technological achievement. But realizing Narendra Modi’s dreams of industrial supremacy will require getting over a series of roadblocks.

www.barrons.com

India took a giant leap into the ranks of advanced industrial nations when its Chandrayaan-3 unmanned spacecraft landed near the moon’s south pole on Aug. 23. At least to hear Prime Minister Narendra Modi tell it. “Science and technology are the foundations of a bright future for our nation,” the 72-year-old Modi, who is favored to win a third term next year, told ecstatic staff at the Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO.
----------

Manufacturing’s share of gross domestic product is stuck at about 18%, according to S&P Global. That compares with 28% for China.

Modi’s (not very realistic) target is 25% by 2025. One big obstacle is policy-related: His government remains keen on import tariffs, some of which hit inputs needed to raise exports. “The Indian government has consistently raised tariff and nontariff barriers to protect domestic suppliers across most sectors,” the United States Trade Representative wrote in a recent report.

Another is a lag in transport infrastructure. Indian ports can’t accommodate the biggest container ships, so freight has to be transshipped through Singapore or Hong Kong. “To become the global manufacturing destination of choice, India will need massive upgrades in rail, port, and freight corridors,” write S&P researchers. That won’t happen by gazing at the moon.

I dont know why you are getting so worked up about him, hes clearly a troll, could be Indian, could be pakistani but hes a troll, even most Indians here are no longer bothering to respond to him. Just ignore him and enjoy Friday. You and everyone else doesn't need anymore stress in their life.

Modi Co-opting Chandrayaan-3 Success For Hindutva Propaganda?

Well before India's Chandrayaan-3 landed on the moon on August 23, India's "Godi Media" started showing split screens with the landing craft’s animated image alongside a photo of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It was clearly meant to give him exclusive credit for ISRO scientists' major accomplishment after their decades-long hard work. This Hindutva propaganda has echoes of Adolf Hitler’s use of the 1936 Berlin Olympics to promote his Nazi ideology. It is boosting the morale of the hateful Hindu supremacist trolls unleashed by the BJP “IT cell” on social media. It is easy to conclude that the Chandrayaan is now essentially a prestige project for the Hindu Nationalist government in New Delhi. Funding such projects is easier for politicians than implementing social sector programs to uplift hundreds of millions of poor and hungry Indians who are deprived of the most basic necessities.

​

Chadrayaan3-Modi Split Screen Godi Media Propaganda

It is clear that Mr. Modi wants to claim credit for the moon landing but he refuses to take responsibility for high unemployment and widespread malnutrition in the world’s largest population living in extreme poverty in India. Nor does the Modi regime accept the blame for millions of preventable COVID19 deaths in India in 2020-21. This is what Princeton economist Professor Ashoka Mody, the author of “India is Broken”,refers to as India’s “lived reality”. Here's an excerpt from Mody's book:
"The grim reality is that, to employ all working-age Indians, the economy needs to create 200 million jobs over the next decade, an impossible order after the past decade of declining employment numbers.1 Right from independence, the Indian economy produced too few jobs. For more than 80 percent of Indians, the informal sector employment became the safety net, where workers idled for long stretches, earning below- or barely-above-poverty wages. Demonetization in 2016, a poorly executed goods and services tax in 2017, and COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021 struck hammer blows on the informal sector while creating no new options. Indeed, technology accelerated job destruction, especially in retail and wholesale trade. More Indians just stopped looking for work. Set against this bleakness, many pundits and leaders look back to celebrate and draw hope from India’s high GDP growth rates of the 1990s and 2000s. That celebrated celebrated growth, however, was an outcome of unusually buoyant world trade, rampant natural resource use, and a domestic finance-construction bubble. Even as wealthy Indians accumulated astonishing riches, job creation remained weak. The most severe forms of poverty came down, but still afflicted over 20 percent of Indians; another 40 percent lived precariously, ever at risk of falling back into a dire existence. The median Indian lived in that vulnerable zone—and, looking through a government-induced data fog, still lives there. The unchanging problem through the post-independence years has been the lack of public goods for shared progress: education, health delivery, functioning cities, clean air and water, and a responsive and fair judiciary. Along with scarcity of jobs, the absence or poor quality of public goods makes the lived reality of vast numbers."

India Ranks Low on Social Progress Indicators. Source: Economist

India ranks 110 among 170 countries on the Social Progress Index (SPI), according to a dataset published by the Social Progress Imperative, a non-profit organization. The Social Progress Index combines 52 social and environmental indicators.
Over 75% of the world's poor who are deprived of basic living standards (nutrition, cooking fuel, sanitation and housing) live in India compared to 4.6% in Bangladesh and 4.1% in Pakistan, according to a recently released OPHI/UNDP report on multidimensional poverty. Here's what the report says: "More than 45.5 million poor people are deprived in only these four indicators (nutrition, cooking fuel, sanitation and housing). Of those people, 34.4 million live in India, 2.1 million in Bangladesh and 1.9 million in Pakistan—making this a predominantly South Asian profile".

According to the ISPR twitter General, the failure of Chandrayan 2 in 2019 was due to hindutva. So surely the success of Chandrayan 3 is also due to hindutva, right?

From Google Gen AI:


China's top scientist, Ouyang Ziyuan, has disputed India's claim that its Chandrayaan-3 rover landed near the moon's south pole. Ziyuan says the landing site was 619 kilometers away from the polar region. He claims the landing spot's coordinates are too far away to count.

The "founding father" of China's lunar exploration program also disagrees with India's statement. He says the site was within the moon's southern hemisphere but not in the polar region.

India's space agency didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

After India's landing of its Chandrayaan-3 rover on the moon last month — becoming the first country to put a spacecraft near the lunar south pole and breaking China's record for the southernmost lunar landing – a top Chinese scientist has said claims about the accomplishment are overstated

Top Chinese Scientist Claims India Moon Landing Nowhere Near South Pole
