This Cartoon Trolling The Western Countries After India’s Historic Launch Of 104 Satellites Is Going Viral
India’s astonishing success in launching the mighty 104 satellites is something that shocked the rest of the world. Yes! earlier in 2014, India was nowhere in the field of space study, but now, a tremendous progress is noticed.
From past two years, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been doing some incredible space odysseys with precisely great results. After ISRO achieved this incredible feat on February 15 Indians are now ecstatic about this rare achievement.
Social media is on its high swings on trolling the western countries, NASA for ignoring India in the previous experiments. Twitter kept buzzing with reactions, some congratulatory, others proud, while a few taking a dig at neighbouring countries, especially Pakistan. There was enough space to troll the mighty NASA too.
At every moment when India hits a milestone, Social media roars high with avid cartoons on India’s achievements.
Cartoons sound very informative and funny at the same time, One cannot simply forget the insulting cartoon published by the New York Times in 2014 weighing in ISRO’s Mangalyaan mission. It is time for India and the dig is taken, this brand new cartoon slapping the then New York Times post is trending on social media for right reasons.
According to the New York Times cartoon, a farmer with a cow is knocking at the door of a room marked Elite Space Club, which is criticised severely not only by Indians as well as people from elsewhere, had even forced the leading daily to issue a public apology, which didn’t happen yet.
Congrats #ISRO. Feeling proud as Indian. Isro cements the fact it’s the best. #IsroMadeHistory. NYT’s mimic backfires!On their face

This is definitely a fair opportunity for all the Indians to take a dig on ‘New York Times’ which netizens did sufficiently. People responded to the previous’ controversial NYT cartoon and it has created a lot of buzz on social media.
This counter cartoon is drawn by the popular cartoonist Sandeep Adhwaryu, which has a flip of situations in which India, being at the forefront of space research, sits inside the “Elite Space Club” and The United States and other countries knock on the door with rockets in hand.
Coming to the facts, it must be noted that, out of the 104 satellites, 101 were foreign satellites launched by PSLV on Wednesday and 96 were from the US. India’s space agency charges substantially less than its competitors in Europe and North America apparently.
And here’s how Twitter Reacted:

Appalled at NYT & FT’s attempt to belittle the success achieved by India’s ISRO. Clear & pitiable case of sour grapes.

@nytimes NYT says that satellites launched by Isro were small, size doesn’t matter
