We Are Proud of Indian Women Scientists

India’s space journey has seen remarkable achievements, and behind many of these milestones are the brilliant minds of Indian women scientists at ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation). Their dedication, intelligence, and perseverance have not only broken gender stereotypes but also helped position India as a global space power.

One of the most inspiring examples is the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan), where women scientists played key roles. Scientists like Ritu Karidhal, known as the “Rocket Woman of India,” served as the Deputy Operations Director. Her leadership and precise planning contributed greatly to the success of India’s first interplanetary mission. Similarly, Nandini Harinath, a project manager for Mangalyaan, showed how women are vital contributors in mission planning and execution.

Another proud moment came with the Chandrayaan missions. Muthayya Vanitha and Ritu Karidhal were again at the forefront—Vanitha as Project Director and Karidhal as Mission Director of Chandrayaan-2. Their presence in top positions is a clear indicator of the trust and respect women scientists have earned within ISRO.

These women not only symbolize scientific excellence but also inspire a new generation of girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Their journeys remind us that talent and determination can overcome all barriers.

We are proud of these Indian women scientists whose contributions continue to propel our nation forward in the field of space research. They represent the spirit of modern India—bold, capable, and breaking boundaries. ISRO's success is a testament to their vision and hard work, and their stories deserve to be celebrated across every classroom, laboratory, and home in India.

1975 Emergency in India - A Grave Mistake!

The Emergency imposed in India from June 25, 1975, to March 21, 1977, is widely regarded as a dark chapter in the country’s democratic history. Declared by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the Emergency suspended civil liberties, curtailed press freedom, and allowed the government to rule by decree. Although it was constitutionally valid under Article 352, its implementation is now considered a serious misjudgment. The justification offered for the Emergency was the threat to national security and internal disturbance. However, the real trigger was the Allahabad High Court’s verdict declaring Indira Gandhi's 1971 election invalid due to electoral malpractice. Facing political vulnerability, she chose authoritarian control over democratic accountability. During the Emergency, thousands of political opponents were jailed without trial under preventive detention laws. The media was censored, dissent was stifled, and civil society was silenced. Draconian measures like forced steriliz...
