[a-woke]

We are being proud of something we should be ashamed of..

[parimalsingh]

Ohh please this has nothing to do with India he is US citizen.

[arjunnarayanan]

If any country achieves an unimaginable task, our medias always try to find out is there any Indian origins in that team and acts like its Indias victory 😂

[iamWATCHINGYOUUU]

All our Indian Scientists in foreign land and making them strong, instead of our own Motherland.

[SuperKirkb]

For all those who think that he has nothing to do with India should think twice, he was an Indian studied in IIT but moved to US for further studies and join Nasa, likewise was Vinod Dham (creator of Pentium chips) who studied in India but moved to US and also Ajay Bhatt (USB co inventor) these are just to name a few, although they have studied in US because there is lack of opportunity in India

[oksowhat]

correction " american engineer of indian decent"

[neetuchauhan]

I am not proud but happy for an Indian- American Achievement .
NASA with its money buy Indian minds but the day is not far when these minds will only work for India and stay in India 😔.

[rajneesh]

The comments are so positive and mature...hats off

[randomgoose]

Wth is an Indian-American, he is either Indian or American. Judging by the circumstances, he is more of an American. Disgrace that we didn't held this talent in our country.

[anshumananand]

Excellent.
In India, we fight in the name of religion.

[ForBetterWorld]

If this man works for ISRO then 🔥🔥 from decades India is exporting knowledge due to lack of government support if it support we can see India as super power in few decades

[thehavoccrew]

Indian origin or Indian?
If he is of Indian origin and has shifted to USA then it means that he is working for another country. His country's progress has nothing to do with us.
