Chandrayaan 2's Pragyan Rover may still be Alive!

Remember ISRO's Chandrayaan 2 mission to moon? Well the mission was only a partial success as ISRO lost communication with the Vikram Lander, which was carrying Pragyan Rover on-board. The lander was later reported to be met with a hard landing #crashed.

But now (August 1, 2020) Shanmuga Subramanian, the techie who got credited by NASA for finding debris of Chandrayaan 2's Vikram lander, claims that Pragyan rover may still be alive! and he has also shared his findings with ISRO and NASA.

As per Shan's findings..., he has made multiple claims through a series of tweets 

Chandrayaan2's Pragyan  "ROVER" intact on Moon's surface & has rolled out few metres from the skeleton Vikram lander whose payloads got disintegrated due to rough landing

1. Debris he found was of Langumir probe from the Vikram lander
2. Debris NASA found might be from other payloads, antenna, retro braking engines, solar panels on side etc., 
3. Rover has rolled out from lander & has actually travelled few metres from the surface.

South Pole region is not always well lit and the lander was in a shallow depth of 2 ms from the surface so it was not visible in Nov 11th's NASA flyby due to different angle of incidence & would be difficult for anyone to find it unless the sun is directly above the surface

It seems the commands were sent to lander blindly for days & there is a distinct possibility that lander could have received commands and relayed it to the rover.. but lander was not able to communicate it back to the earth.
