Description
Space is not merely a spectacle. And very rarely do we get a view from inside of the bases of the fascinating journey that constitutes Indian space research. S. Sridhars account of the ISRO saga, is luminous, lucid and more importantly, forward-looking. It covers the breakthrough moments in our nations progress in this frontier field but what runs through his narrative is the core philosophy of the architects of this institution - a nationalistic mission, satellite technology as a tool for the integration of a nascent nation and for progress, measured in hard economic and social terms. What I liked is this underlying theme. Ultimately, the benefits of space research have to be felt by the poorest and the weakest, as Gandhiji put forth in his oft-quoted talisman statement. Sridhar succeeds in continually focusing attention on this key aspect of all scientific research, as he tells us a very readable story. S. Adikesavan, Chief General Manager, State Bank of India, Thiruvananthapuram
