    Whatever your reasons, that was whataboutism.

    Expecting others to know what goes on in NASA discussions is moronic at best. That’s not the topic we are in. You didn’t even link it or reference it.

    The Indian caste system is a humanitarian crisis. Would you rather westerners ignore it? There’s just no winning then, is there?

      So people haven’t criticized NASA because they don’t know what NASA does. Yet suddenly everyone, including you has opinions about India’s space program. I thought NASA had a much bigger space program. And I am the moron to point out the double standard? This is exactly what I was talking about, the “holier than thou” attitude.

      Whatever your reasons, that was whataboutism.

      You haven’t still answered how you think the Indian government is responsible for the caste system. Shouldn’t that be resolved first? If you can’t say if the claim itself is even true, how is it whataboutism?
