This article problematizes in a framework the efforts to make a national space legislation for India. It identifies that such efforts are in a forgetfulness of the indigenous specialties of the Indian Space Program, particularly of its science which has India advancing in space technology. All efforts in making a national space legislation have become an imitation of efforts elsewhere because of their absorption in the otherness of epistemologies foreign to the Indian self. The article recognizes that for the continued success of India as a space faring nation, legislation or policy, as the case may be, needs to recover the indigeneity of the science of the Indian Space Program. Hence, it builds a framework which can challenge the otherness forged by the misguided ambitions of the advocates of national space legislation. It also includes an Indian narrative on human space exploration which is based on the national experience of India on matters relating to space. The article also proposes means for India to continue to fare in space through a reimagined triad of science, legislation, and policy.
