why do we have to brag so much abt sunita williams. she is definitely not associated in any way with india. i agree with "Real Indian" on this. If she were to be in India, she wouldn't be what she is today. so lets stop celebrating her!

Hi, Who do you say that? If you put your name as Real Indian means, you cannot be Real Indian. Do you know there one clause called, PIO. Ask meaning to your Indian friend.
How is she and Indian, He never studied in India, she is married not married to an Indian born. I agree Kalpana Chawla is an Indian, She was born, raised and studied in India. Why should Indians go at great lenghts and associate with any one great and anyway possible?

Hi, She told that India is beautiful & bright from Space!!! Also, in case of BrokeBack Mountain, one director was claimed by some other country, I think he also like that.

Very sad you feel this way. I can tell you this, Sunita may have left her country, but she still lives with her face! This is a great achievement for a person with Indian origin, especially female. Let's celebrate her success, without being all negative. It's not an easy feat for anybody, let alone a female with such a name.
well done Ms.sunita williams you really makes us proud we pray to god for you long life so that you search more and more mysteries and truths of space and all best of luck and take care. Regards : Manoj Khurana
Indians are truly proud of you because you share at least 50% of your DNA structure has commonality with Indian race. Its also a great testimony to all that your father and great grandfather learnt when they were in India . Maybe your name Sunita has been decided on the basis of a great Indian numerologist enabling her to achieve what she has. Even this guy deserves the credit and by extension all of us on account sharing the same DNA of the great Indian race.

Hello Sunita, It gives us a great pride when your name is join with India. You have luck & courage with you & I wish it will be with you for ever, because hardwork is magnet for luck & prosperity. We are just reading arrticals on mail & wondering how the things are going on? how the space station is charged? what is the fuel used? and in what quantity? or it works on solar system? this all things are just wonders for us who just stay on land.

I completely agree with you. Foreign news media would have published this news item any way, this item is being given so much importance in India only because her ancesotors were Indian. I dont know if this news would have been published at all other wise. People who claim her to make India proud should also say similar things when a west Indian cricketer of Indian origin scores a century!!!! The point to be pondered here is so much of our talented is being used up for the upliftment of other countries. It is the time to think how to make people stay back and achieve back in India rather than becoming citizens of other countries and achieving there

Mr Datta you have a valid point. Few years back a professor in IITK along with two undergrad students proved a result on primality which was esoteric for humans for centuries. Such things are greater achivements and need more innovation than space walk which can be done by being in the right field and getting opportunities. I think that their contribution was never properly acknowledged by the Indian press. A space walk seems a flashy thing than proving a great mathematical result and our press tries to fully capitalize on it.

They received Godel prize but there was never enough hype for that. I dont think there was even enough coverage for that. Frankly speaking Indians should feel proud of this more than about Sunita Williams space walk. Unfortunately media is only bothered about covering things that look flashy rather than covering things that are more important or of higher value.

i am guessing lot of people are proud of the achievement itself, but do we have to hype too much about Sunita having Indian roots?
