Indians right now:

[yehsahihai]

the fact that every desi user here collectively started screaming about Chandrayaan 3 within minutes of its touchdown and it felt like we were all the same person just crying, laughing, screaming is making me so damn emotional. I love how no matter what we desis will always get together to celebrate even if we all live thousands of kilometres away from one another.

I want yall to realise how momentous this is and how much we could do. Chandrayaan 3 had a budget of Rs 615 crore, that's roughly $74 million. For less than a two hundredth of elon musk's net worth, a country with a per capita income of $2000 sent a spacecraft to the Moon's south pole.

a bit off topic, but chandrayaan 3 (india's latest lunar mission) just landed safely on the south pole of the moon. we're the first country to successfully land! 🌗

i’ve seen british pakistani ‘academics’ on twitter calling actual desi people living in the subcontinent who criticise chandrayaan ‘colonial bootlickers’ like beta tum hi colonial bootlicker ho

LANDING ON THE MOON WAS A TECHNOLOGY BASICALLY PERFECTED IN THE 1970s THIS IS JUST FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS ABT BEING IN A NICE CLUB. THAT ROVER HAS 7 INSTRUMENTS ON IT ARE THESE PEOPLE SERIOUS.

THE SPACE RACE WAS STUPID WHEN USA AND USSR DID IT TOO.

Ngl but the female scientists make me so happy like it's so admiringg, i am spellbound, I am hypnotized, I am inspired 😭😭😭 this inspires me so much, I'm just a little girl in front of the tv admiring all of them, this tells me so muchh

I am seeing a lot of white people shit on India and discredit the Chandrayaan 3 achievement by saying we are a third world country who needs to fix its poverty first.

First of all, there are a lot of schemes to help poor people in place here.

The problem is that the system is broken and the officials are corrupt and we are stuck with a fucking dictator.

Also it has been less than a hundred years since we got independence and drove the colonizers away. My grandmother was alive and very much a kid when the Britishers were looting us.

So fixing poverty isn't as easy as you think.

This costed less than some really bad action movie budgets so shut up.

Genuinely, shut up.

Why can't you celebrate with us about the new data we are going to get our hands on?

[brokoala-soup]

I love how we're all treating Chandrayaan 3 like our own child taking it's first step

[little-desi-historian]

On August 15th, 1947, India became free from British colonialism and violent oppression by the British empire. On Wednesday August 23rd, 2023, India landed a spacecraft on the South Pole of the moon, being the 4th country of all nations to get to the moon and the first to get to the South Pole of the moon. I am proud to be brown.

WE ARE TRENDING ON TUMBLR

Celebrating the first landing on the moon’s south pole!

I am glad K Sivan was there to watch his dream getting fulfilled. Still remember him tearing up last time. The man deserves to see this

[metamatar]

what do you think about this whole chandrayaan shtick

most of ISRO's engineering and scientific work is not really cutting edge, including this mission. 90% of the function of space programmes is propaganda and its so fucking hilarious that we spent all this money to come 4th. all of this is secondary to the fact that this is being sold as a win for hindutva fascists and will be invoked as defense when they defund public universities, gut research budgets and claim at the indian science congress that ancient india invented plastic surgery in hindu mythology. everyone read meera nanda science in saffron.
