This is ridiculous !
by Abhilash on Dec 05, 2006 09:45 AM

I do not understand why the media is somuch hyping the travel of Sunita Williams to the space ! Is this the way indians find gratification in participating high-end space programs ? Cheap stuff !



Sunita is not an Indian. Just that she is of Indian Origin. If you start taking pride in such aspects, we may end up taking pride in everyone's achivements everywhere, as we all are descendants of human life in Africa !



I was stunned to see the front page article in TOI too. Kalpana Chawla was a US citizen by choice, and Anita is a US Citizen by birth.They both do not represent common indian women, to take pride ! They are american citizens, and they are Americans !



Please stop this cheap gratification for the masses. There is nothing in these which makes a true indian proud !



A fed up indian citizen
