The post is about the first Indian for whom the Indian government bought a ticket on a Soviet rocket.

Yes.. the first Indian to go to space.. lol pretty easy concept to understand. Not sure if you’re that ignorant or if you’re just trying to be a dick, but you’re coming across as both in this instance.

The title directly states that India is the 14th country to send a man to space. He's pointing out this statement is false, because India did not send the man to space.

This has to do with the second claim in the title, not the first, nobody is disagreeing that he is the first Indian to go to space.

And no, pointing out misinformation on an educational subreddit is neither being a dick nor is it ignorant.

Isn't "nation" usually used to indicate the population, whereas "country" is for the political entity only? If that's the case, title isn't false at all.

it was Russian people who sent him to space, in a program created by the Russian government. So both nation and country would be wrong.
