  • That is why millions of Indians went into mass hysteria over whether the Taj Mahal would make it to the list of New Seven Wonders of the World — it mattered little that this ‘list’ was being created by a private Swiss entrepreneur! That is why we go ga-ga over the achievements of US citizen, Sunita Williams — because she is ‘half-Indian’ — but ignore our very own Squadron Leader Rakesh Sharma, who in 1984 became the first Indian to visit space as part of an ISRO-Intercosmos mission!
