Look, guys, I don't really care which human race eventually manages to colonize space. All that matters is that it happens.
Any space program aimed at establishing a viable industry outside of Earth's gravity sink and colonizing the universe has my support. Even the Russian and North Korean space programs. If the Nigerians can do it, great! I would love to be wrong about them.
Indians can be proud of landing a probe on the moon and inspiring young people to become engineers instead of pursuing some useless humanities degree like many ideologically diseased Europeans.
Our intergalactic descendants will not care about any action that did not directly contribute to making their civilization possible. Problems like hunger in Africa pale in comparison to the trillions of beings, including godlike Matrioshka brains, living among the stars. And India has contributed to that with its space program.
