Agreed, but at this point welfare, direction, basic education, tactical advantage, military advantage, logical thinking, karma and pretty much everything else is _exclusively_ ignored. Even in 'mericah it is now the private players doing the rocket rounds. Kind of like NASA, the big daddy, making way for the young and restless to come in and take over. Where would the strategy of having 'exclusive ISRO' stand in the near term?
Either you are saying: 1. India, for example, is _exclusively_ (i.e. completely) ignoring welfare - something that is clearly wrong as the country spends a lot on subsidizing food and basic amenities - you can argue the specifics of the program but can't say that the program is absent.
or you are saying 2. India is _exclusively_ focusing on ISRO, also something wrong - ISRO is a minute fraction of the budget
