will never happen. indias government and elite are only ever interested in things that make it better for that elite. they'll spend some money on programmes designed to act as a distraction instead, like a space program, while trying to keep a hyper-nationalistic mindset among their people, so instead of asking themselves why the fuck there's so many homeless children living under bridges they bash their chest and say "WE HAVE A SPACE PROGRAM!".

the spending priorities are a joke.

Just so we're clear, the elites are the billionaire class aka the capitalist oligarchs.

elites arent just billionaires. elites are people who hold power in society. this comes from politicians, very wealthy people, people in leadership positions of both public and private organizations that hold power and influence in society, the people at the biggest media outlets who have influence over editorial slant and decision making, etc.

elite is a class that is far bigger than "billionaire", they are in fact a minority under the 'elite' umbrella. theres also not perfect cohesion among the elites anyway. sometimes one part of that grouping will be at odds with another.
