Shubhanshu Shukla Shares His Love for India: A Journey Through Its Landscapes
In a powerful tribute to the nation, ISRO astronaut-in-training Shubhanshu Shukla recently shared his stirring reflections after completing a significant phase of India’s Gaganyaan mission simulation. Describing his emotional experience, Shukla remarked, “From space, India doesn’t just look beautiful—it looks confident and fearless. Truly, ‘Saare Jahan Se Accha’.”
Shukla, one of the select few undergoing astronaut training for India’s ambitious human spaceflight program, expressed his deep pride in representing the country beyond Earth’s atmosphere. His words echo a growing sentiment of national resurgence, innovation, and strength as India continues to make bold strides in space exploration.
The Gaganyaan mission, which aims to send Indian astronauts (Gagannauts) into space by 2025, is not just a scientific milestone but a testament to India’s evolving global stature. “From up there,” Shukla explained, “you don’t see borders, conflicts, or fear. What you see is a nation rising, brimming with energy and courage.”
