Well now we are making a headway here..... so being Indian at heart should qualify her to be called an Indian. She took part in the independenace day parade in NYC ..... isn't that acknowledgment enough of her being proud of her Indian roots.

Just listen this speech carefully. If she has not the heart of being an Indian he wouldnt have visited his ancestral village and Gujarat she is staying there for six days. She said that from space it was lovely to see India and India was looking green. She also said that borders are there in the mind of people and talked about principles of Gandhi.
If you feel by heart you are Indian that is a subjective matter and only you know. So how much by heart Sunita is Indian only she knows so dont try to bother evaluate her my friend.

Nobody is trying to evaluate her mind - do not misunderstand the post by using the "friendly" terms. I used the word "most probably" and what I was trying to do is make the point (made by DIO) clearer.

Also, the point made by him is simple, so do not bother to post any video.

You are proud that nasser hussain is from your "gaon" .... same is the case with Sunita Williams ... she is visiting her "Gaon" .. now the BIG difference in the two is that Sunita has the distinction of being a women astronaut .... a rarety in India ..... while as , to borrow a phrase from a famous cricketer, we have nasser hussains in every corner of our cities. There are far better players in cricket then him in India ....... so no chance for him to get any big reception ......so dont sweat about it ...let her enjoy enjoy & let gujjus have their fair share of celebration ...... no need to get all fired up for no reason .....

I am absolutely agreed with Putoo's post, If Mr . DIO is prouding that nassir hussain from his or her village, why we should not proud that Sunita Willaims from Gujju's Community.

Mr DIO look at your mind or in your pocket before pointing out or talking some nonsense about any community without thinking.

' Begaani shaadi mein Abdullah Deewana '

Abdulla is crazily dancing at a stranger's wedding .

I agree with DIO - if she s not Indian why are Indians going gaga over her ?? fading shades of colonialism ...
