moon landing: UK aid worth nearly £2.3 billion to India sparks heated debate amid Chandrayaan-3 triumph

The success of India's Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon has ignited a debate over foreign aid between the UK and India. Journalist Sophie Corcoran suggested that the UK should reconsider aid to India due to its advanced space program, while news presenter Patrick Christys called for India to return the £2.3 billion in foreign aid provided by Britain. The debate intensified when Indian social media users referenced a report revealing that the British Raj extracted £9.2 trillion from India during colonial rule, leading to humorous suggestions of repayment. The phrase '45 Trillion' gained traction on social media in relation to the debate.
