Beg to disagree. UK was and is interested in looting from India, including it's crown jewels. Indian space program is almost 100% home grown. We did not receive any support from any of the other nations. Infact, The USA twisted India's arms at time of war by disabling GPS in the region, and provided the service to Pakistan alone.

India definitely has the capacity and Grid infrastructure to handle the influx. More power is being added almost on a daily basis. However major issues happen at the last mile distribution and the problem is amplified by power theft. However, There are a ton of incentives for people opting for Solar and Wind power. Infact many rich Indians buy a (few) wind turbines in some remote windy areas and claim tax benefit, in addition to selling the power to private/public distribution companies. Roof top solar panels are becoming quite popular as well.

I also think that this is a fake news. I have been accessing Slashdot every single day through 3 - 4 ISPs (My Fiber Optic to Home, 4G Reliance JIO, 3G Vodafone, and Office network which is load balanced across 3 ISPs, including Govt. sponsored ISPs). I have never faced any issue what so ever till date.
