Our media has this habit of finding the "indianness" of successful persons after they become successful. These idiots keep saying "american-indian" sunita williams. Why the hell are we so proud of her. She is by no means an Indian citizen, even if she is of Indian origin whats the big deal. She is what she is because of USA and not India. We should be proud when we put a pucca 100% indian astronauts (who are indian citizens) in space on a regular basis. Until then we should keep our mouth shut, otherwise our behaviour comes across as creepy.

Arun i fully agree with you.
Bobby Jindal, Kalpana chawla, and Now Sunita william. Non of them ever said they arany way india. They always say we are American. Still stupid indian media goes on screaming Indian indian. Even those so called NRI who visit india every or every six month don't like to call themself Indian. Than why do india media harp on this Indianness
