Why is the whole space mission so India centric? Agreed that its does make an Indian pround that one of our citizen is up in the space, showing volumes of her achievement. But for God's sake, value others as well! We have other space travellers, who are also gonna come back. Their life is also equally important for us. PTI/and other Indian journos must change their writing habits.

whats wrong in emphasising India in this... Its an acheivement for her and she is on the mark to set world record so why not be proud and tell about her... if she in Indian let it be known to all that its Indian... Time was there when people use to proudly say... Made in US... ya imported hai... now when we Indian are now reaching the world why do we want to meek and humble enough not to mention Made in India.. I never mean to say we need to be arrogant but at same time dont be shy feel proud of India.. else it will happen same thing... as things are happened in past and in present.. Contributions to the world by India has been claimed by these westerners and we keep mum and helpless... There are many instances where we kept low profile and did not use Made in India tag and patent of Basmati rice went to some other country, turmeric was patent by some other multinational company though we fough and won... Yoga in US christian use the tag Christian yoga and say it with confidence it does not belong to any religion or country and do not give credit to india at same time.... So there is equal need to emphasis Made in India... She is Indian by origin and has made India proud that being in foreign and competition from many others, she has been selected.... so wake up and feel proud of Made in india tag.........no more low profile... world has changed

Mr. Pawar - why do you want to get asscocited with something which is not ours.... Probably media is trying to build a ground for some future US expedition to India????
Well, every time ISRO do some tests or announcements I feel really proud... Sometime I party as well...... But Yes Ms. Williams as a human, I appreciate her but can never agree her being asscoiated with India/Indian origin - whatever it is....
Man! these people frown to be associated with India do you know that. Even the so called NRI - as* hol*s.... I feel disgusted even to talk about these guys...
I am a Indian and for every India's achievement I appalude and feel proud.....

You must understand that these people are holding American Citizenships. Even if they you to show your loyalty to India, they cannot, at least publicly or they will have a hard time. Imagine yourself - you are in the public glare at all the time - lets talk of Shilpa Shetty that she is an India and now with international publicity, can she proclaim that she would rather be a britisher, etc. It is very easy to say that they must accept that they are Indians - legal protocols and procedures do not allow them to do so. Please understand it.

@all.... You guys should understand sometimes to achieve something we need to adopt the surrounding and work in the similar style. Though she is born and brought in US, but is of Indian Origin,... THough people are American citizen they still are called as INDIAN.. Unless she is ameican citizen she woould not have got chance to prove her capablities unless she is from Space partner counrty of NASA....
