One of the best pieces on our moon landing and it’s important fall out
The news of India’s success in landing a moon rover is a great feat in its own right. It earns India membership of an exclusive club of nations, and even more so, because the lander was successfully deployed at the difficult to achieve south pole of the moon. So “Bravo Zulu” all around.
But there is another more insidious battle that has been won. It is in the hearts and minds of everyday westerners who live in protected silos and where all of India’s great achievements have been lost in the telling. At least until now.
These are the less than aware masses in the UK, US, Australia, NZ and Europe. Most educated Indians living in India rarely interact with these people in the general population but who vote en masse and affect how governments interact with other nations.
On a daily basis I meet them on the streets. Their only contact with an Indian would be the local dairy owner/ Appu the shopkeeper, or the taxi or courier driver. The educated well to do Indians are few and do not choose to or need to interact with them.
Many of these run of the mill westerners live in protected bubbles, and in the news silos they live in, it is the poverty, hygiene, chaos is what they see and know. They never visit India or Asia.
This morning on my walk my local postie on her bike stopped in front of me in the freezing cold to congratulate me “ India has gone to the moon.. who would have thought?….”
The fact that India has been at the forefront of technology and commerce has missed this entire majority segment of the population.
This morning it is different. Every radio and TV channel is awash with the news. My neighbour commented on the number of women scientists in the control room. The general comment is “India … wow … who knew…”
Obviously we must be doing something right. From the time I was a midshipman all the way through my service career at staff college and other forums from 1973 to 1994 I have heard a series of great speakers drone on and on about the India as an “emerging” regional power. After another of these interminable lectures at Staff College I wondered whether like a reluctant butterfly we were ever going to emerge.
Well we did apparently somewhere along the way “and how”. If there was any doubt especially amongst the ‘hoi polloi’ those doubts should have been put to bed by an adventurous rover named Pragyan.
For India The year 2023 begins the story of ascendancy to the top of the table of nations able to say that they went where “angels feared to tread”.
