    Rakesh Sharma had to piggyback on a Russian spacecraft. Today, India is about to launch its own manned space craft. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/science/cabinet-approves-3-member-manned-space-mission/articleshow/67286574.cms?from=mdr

    Lol... Indira Gandhi cannot speak those few lines of her without seeing the paper... It is shameful taking to a achiever without looking into his eyes or face to face ... Just plundering the paper

    Nehru alongwith sardar patel and many more people hv contributed to India. Post independent Nehru, Indira Gandi hv done a lot for country and Now our generation beloved PM Modi is doing grate jib for the country. Post emergency Indira lost control on her own syndicate and India pushed back 100 years. Now grate PM Modi is accelerating to bring it back on track. We all Indians will support him for next 20 years or till he want to b our PM, We will b with him no doubt anout it.💪💪✌✌

    So I guess this is from where the "Sharma Ji Ka Ladka " taunt by Indian parents started...

    Compare the way Modi addressed the recent DRDO mission shakti and how Indira Gandhi addresses the achievement is those days! Huge difference- Modi took pride himself, whilst Indira gave honor to the man who made it happen.
