Well, I generally don%u2019t post any comments. However, after reading this interesting discussion I could not resist myself. Yesssss we should appreciate Sunitha%u2019s effort and her achievement. If anybody personally wants to be proud of her there is absolutely no problem. However, if media want to bring Indian sentiment and issue of so-called national pride then they should think twice.
Being working in a research institute for quite some time I have heard many achievements and breakthrough in science and technology by Indian researcher who are working in India. Some examples are:
An Indian mathematician makes an astounding advance in number theory http://www.hinduonnet.com/2005/04/25/stories/2005042506530100.htm
Thomson Honours Leading Indian Scientists http://scientific.thomson.com/press/2006/8334014/
My request to media is to give importance to those achievement too so that we, Indian also know where do we stand on science and technology.
