To some extent I agree with you that she may not be an Indian citizen. Doesnt matter. That doesnt dilute her achievments in any way. I remember reading somewhere that when Kalpana Chawla was asked about which countru she belongs to India or US, she replied : "I am a citizen of the world, I belong everywhere. "
That should be the spirit.

She "Supposedly" asked for a samosa. Thats why she is Indian.Indian media will make even a banana tree in the West Indies a patriotic Indian banana tree if needed.... after all a third generation Indian laborer planted it there. So the banana tree has an Indian connection.
