Fine. But did we miss the part along with the above that SHE visited India and she's keen to associate herself to India by saying various things? Did we miss that?

-- I do not think anybody (including CD posters) has any problem with her. The OP and many others feel that Indians are overdoing this for her. I think what Fido wants to say is that the govt is overdoing things. The guests like Rakesh Sharma and other scientists might have been invited to greet her and they did their job. They certainly would not have come to greet her otherwise.



Now c'mon! I don't think we've read the full thread. Do a search on "Shame on her" in this thread.

-- I do not think "she is keen to associate herself to India" and I will disagree with those who say this. Also, I do not agree with using the words like "Shame on her". In fact, she should be (and I am sure she is) proud of her achievements.

I was just commenting on your "Gita, Samosa and Ganesh" stuff and trying to clarify/guess what people are saying on the CD forum (e.g. Indian govt or peoples' bending backwards to connect her to India).

Quote from article
"Describing as having most culturally diverse space shuttle crew, Sunita said she was aware of her mixed ethnicity and the interest her spaceflight has aroused in India. "I am half Indian and I have got a, I am sure, a group of Indian people who are looking forward to seeing this second person of Indian origin, flying up in space," she said in a pre-flight interview released by NASA. "

This was prior to the space trip and she has made similar comments on her trip in India, one of which is

"Though an American citizen, I am still a daughter of India and Jhulasan"

So fine, I'll take "keen" back. What word would you like me to replace it with?

--- I would say that she acknowledged her (mixed) ethnicity.

BTW, I do not want you to rephrase your sentence with a different word (like acknowledge or something like that) :) . You expressed your views and I expressed mine.

Cheers!

Great work Bluelobster.
I really appreciate your efforts to produce these valuable info. to the forum.
I think this is more than enough info to counter the OP. This is the thinking of new and future generation of overseas Indians.
I hope people will understand the facts and this will subside their anger and start thinking positively.
