I read joyful news about successful launch of ExoMars Trace Gas Obiter and contribution by Dr. Manish Patel. He deserves unanimous congratulations. We also had felicitated him at his success to launch Saturn lander, Cassini Huygens satellite in 2004.
I know one of his Indian/Hindu colleague who also must be very happy to contribute knowledge and skills in space projects. I also know one person with physicist degree but now successful in music industry. As science educated person myself, I feel happy to learn that our children are successfully pursuing not only theoriticist but also romanticist scientific subjects too, successfully translating pure knowledge into applied knowledge.
Such brilliant students and scholars must inspire youth to pursue globally useful planetary subjects that has brought kudos to all around them. Asian Voice/Gujarat Samachar can be useful for this. I am confident that Indian/Hindu children are capable to succeed in any field but they are shy and keep low profile.
Therefore any achievement is highlighted as British and or American. Our children must also be encouraged to mention Hindu or Indian origin too with same zeal as shown by Jews and Muslims. Best of luck to Dr. Manish Patel and his team.
