Reg. Nationality
by on Jun 19, 2007 09:29 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Sunitha is not even a half indian. I guess her father would definitely have a US Passport.

Guys, let us be clear about one thing - One who holds Indian Passport is an Indian.

I am proud of her achievement. But at the same I feel quite ashamed to find ppl. claiming her as Indian.

Wake up guys !

Its hold true and definitely her forefather belong to Gujarat; does it mean she does not have affection and love towards our country India? We understand that she could not have achieved it if she had been in India. I'm proud of her but we people shouldn't be emotional as much because we poor Indians won't get any benefit out of these. We would have appreciated & celebrated much more if she had any planned to do some things our country. Guys, be practical.

Guys grow up !!!

When the whole of mankind is making some achievement, be happy about that.

Had she been in india, I am sure, she will not be able to do what she is doing now. Our India has lot more higher priority issues to be taken care before we pump more money into space research.

For work related reasons, I had to come off my hometown and live in another state in india itself. Does that mean that I love the new state more than my own hometown !!! Oh come on. Grow up. She may not be an india at all, but atleast she is doing something for the benefit of mankind !!! If you have a family, after the previous accident in which few astronauts were killed(including kalpana chawla), would you dare to take places with sunitha ?

Be it an indian or not, be it in india or abroad, when someone is doing something good, learn to appreciate that !!!

Whoever does good, acknowledge that its good... Not just when indians does that.

If you dont care, why do you bother to read this article ? Just to spread hatred ?

Anil
