Now you are twisting my words. What I was saying is that the primary objectives of MOM which is to master the deep space flight management is a very important step for IRSO to go through for future missions. Even with much big scientific payload, truthly doubt that this mission will discover something new or useful for ISRO that they can easily obtain from published material from NASA.
I think that China is either very confident about its deep space exploration capability through Chang'e 2 mission or they are just not too serious about Mars mission at this stage because right now focusing on land a rover on the moon is more important than just send a probe to Mars. From that experience, the next China's Mars mission will be a full exploration mission with rover for possible discovery.

There is no "More significant" of one country's mission than our own endeavour.
Every bit of our space mission is significant even though some of the maneuvers have been done by other nations.
