I will give u some benefits that India has gained from ISRO's space efforts.
₹1100 crore in profits by launching satellites of foreign nations
250+ satellites of India's own in space that provide services from weather forecast to education to entertainment services to GPS to enemy troop movements monitoring, all at a fraction of the cost it would have been if we did not have ISRO and had to use West or Russia or Chinese to send our satellites to space.
ISRO is wasting no one's money it not only saves money for government of India, it earns precious foreign exchange for it.
But I guess u live under a stone so don't realise it.
As far as moon landing is concerned it is not just for bragging rights. It is also for mining rights.
Eventually moon will be mined for precious minerals as and when cost efficient technology develops. And only those who develop that technology and are able to land on moon will have the mining rights.
