Typical!! Do you know what "low-earth orbit" is ? Do you know the lifecycle of an object in LEO ??
Before raving about "pollution" - which is not even the right word to use there, or raving about "junk" - understand the problem. These objects are micro and nano satellites launched in a very low orbit that will cause them to decay quite soon - further they are operational and commercial scientific instruments that serve a function - who are you to classify them as "junk" ?? There is a natural and structured way that satellites are launched - their orbits are precisely defined and shared in a public database . The idea that India sent a bag of small satellites and just dumped them in space shows ridiculous ignorance of how complex and how deliberate space missions are. 
If 150 nations could do this so easily - then let them try. There is a reason only a handful of nations have been successful in commercial space applications. Its not easy and its not simple.
