like elsewhere,indians are also born into families,my dear friend.they don't drop down from trees or sprout from the ground that india can 'risk a few' as you put it.and it wasn't just Chandrashekar who's given "something" to the world.india's contribution to the world cannot be summarized in just a few lines.please do ur homework well before you comment.

and about orbiting the moon being primitive engg,each little step for us is a giant leap.do i have to remind everyone that mr.armstrong's moon-visit is still a matter of argument till date....as to whether he really did go to the moon or was the whole thing one big act.

Keep smiling!

Saggi!
