Why is Mars so red in color? Is it the iron content of its soil?
yes. can we ask ISRO to bring it back, a couple of bhari hui baltees would fetch good money^^

In Chandrayaan-1, contained five Indian instruments and six foreign instruments.
Russia will work with ISRO on Chandrayaan-2, they believe ISRO have good luck, Chandrayaan-1 made NASA find water on moon, Russia hope to get some luck from ISRO
NASA didn't find water on Moon, ISRO did. Three instruments of Chandrayaan found water not just one. No Russian instrument/sensor on Mangalyaan. Russia has nothing to do with it.
Yeah! But hopefully there will be no delays!
Here's an image, that I posted on another scientific website, taken by the Mars Spirit Rover for which there was a lot of discussion. Note the blue-green 'fog' in the distance. This is probably methane but we don't know for sure whether it is thermogenic or biogenic. That's the million dollar question that our Mangalyaan would be answering! (hopefully!)

I'm no expert in this arena but to me Nov 2013 seems incredibly ambitious. Also Mars is an inclredilby cruel destination for space missions- IIRC there is somthing like a 70% fail rate of such missions. The chips are certainly stacked against ISRO, if they are able to pull yet another rabbit out of the hat and have a success then this will be a great day for India.
