It is known that popular US Newspaper had published an insulting cartoon when India sent a satellite to Mars. The cartoon goes like this – A poor Indian farmer in traditional attire along with his bored-looking cow is eagerly knocking on the door of “Elite Space Club” while inside the club, the two people were drinking wine and reading about India’s mission in the papers look perturbed and hesitant to open the door. The cartoon drew so much flak from India as well as the Indian Community in US. The Newspaper finally had to apologize for the racial mistake.
Days after that Us failed to launch successfully an unmanned NASA-contracted rocket which exploded in mid-air, only six seconds after its launch. Hindustan Times had published a cartoon in which an Indian couple ridicules the failure calling ‘Its Not Rocket Science for us’. Not to miss the poor Indian farmer and his cow are still in the picture. Good One! Isn’t it?
