On Sunday (July 13), Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla recalled the time when his icon Rakesh Sharma had travelled to space 41 years ago and described how India looked from there.
“We all are still curious to know how India looks today from above. Aaj ka Bharat mahatvakanshi dikhta hai. Aaj ka Bharat nidar dikhta hai, Aaj ka Bharat confident dikhta hai. Aaj ka Bharat garv se purn dikhta hai. (Today’s India looks full of ambition, fearless, confident and full of pride),” Mr. Shukla said. “It is because of all these reasons, I can say it once again that today’s India still looks ‘saare jahan se accha’,” he said.
“I didn’t imagine all of this when I started on the Falcon-9 on June 25. I think it has been incredible because of the people involved. People standing behind me (the Expedition 73 crew) have made it really special for us. It was an incredible joy to be here and work alongside professionals like you,” Mr. Shukla said.
