More than some ten years ago, a young man I knew passed a highly prized public service exam with a very high rank. Almost immediately a "coaching institute" approached him and offered him a large sum of money for telling a lie that he had attended the coaching course at that institute. He accepted (with the consent of his parents, who were quite well to do), and the institute put out advts in all big newspapers claiming credit for the young man's success. What respect can I have for a government officer who could be bribed into telling a lie even before he entered public service?
Shame on Indian journalism.Does it take such a long time to get a small truth out.Or is it a 'masala' that journalists would like to capitalize on ...so keep it burning somehow.Are you people aware of the seriousness of this report where the name of an internationally renowned highly admired and respected rocket scientist who also happens to be the President of India is attached with this.How can Indias abroad take pride with such incidents happening at home.Do you also relaise that you have involved a dead astraunaut of Indian origin along with this sham.I would also blame President's secretary and his office bearers for misleading honourable President and arranging the meeting with Saurabh without making solid homework.It was wise on part of PMO to cancel the meeting. Please band kijiye....dont give proofs of your own stupidity.Jo mila chap diya....yes it happened before also when Ramar Pillai claimed 'herbal petrol' but soon a panel of IITians analysed and rejected his claims and declared his fraud.Thanks to there brains.I am anguished to read such reports.It's serious matter and should not happen.
Good job guys. Thanks for trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Hopefully everything will be clear soon. Looking forward to see his story to its conclusion
NASA is not a university for him to "study" there. It is a place to work, like Infosys or Wipro. Please stop giving this bozo anymore publicity. He is a total fraud. Assuming that NASA is a college, why on earth would Oxford university conduct an exam to sponsor students to study at NASA when it's own campus is one of the best in the world. Further, why would it conduct the test in London and not Oxford.
What is the media hell bent on prooving? What does such kind of news gossip get.In my opinion: 1. It will disorient the young man and play havok to his mind. He is just a tennager and does not know the ways of the world.
But what media is trying to say is "NASA is some kind of ruler of earth and young chaps like him cannot make it there." What is the use of this?
Let the indian have faith in his abilities. Let him be...he probably might do mind blowing things later, simply becasue he believed he made it to nasa!
I might have done my share of contributing to his harrasment by not ignoring this article..but I hope it does tell how irresponsible the media is today!!Hope it does encourage one of you guys to write an article on "irresponsible media". Media is power I know, but its happens offen that power wielders are strange people...and then the power deminishes my friends!!This is all I can comment on it!!
