Meet The Young Muslim Scientists, Engineers Who Contributed To India’s Moon Mission Success

[El Sidd]

You're naive if you think you can describe the 1.45 billion people with a single statement. Not all Indians are same, not all of them think the same way. I can't stop you from doing so, I am just saying not many people agree with your views.

I totally agree that 1.45bn people with such diversity cannot be lumped together in the imposed Indian identity.

The Jews Who Fought for Nazi Germany

Traitors or survivors, cowards or brave men—fools or wise heeders of Jewish parables on the sanctity of each individual life?

Because Indians live in the 1933 to 1947 era in perpetuity.

How would you describe Pakistanis whose constitution bars Non-Muslims from progressing beyond a point?

Muslims have been Chiefs of Air Staff in India

I'd like to share that the team at the helm in 1971 comprised of a Parsi who was the COAS, the Army Commander of the Eastern Command that turned East Pakistan into history was a Sikh, his Chief of Staff who flew in to negotiate the surrender at Dhakka was a Jew.The leading Corps Commander who raced to Dhakka was a Rajput.. and so on..

The Western Air Command was led by a Parsi, the Head of AF Plans at Air HQ was a Muslim

I wonder how Pakistan would be now if Hindus and Sikhs were not wiped out from Pakistan in 1947.

Not any different

Pakistan's constitution reflects her political doctrine of self determination of Muslims in colonial lands of the British subcontinent. It bars non-Muslims from holding symbolic and ceremonial positions.

What you said about 1971 is just fine. All those Jews, Parsis, Sikhs and Rajputs had to live with the imposed Indian identity. If this is how you judge a minoritys right, we can arrange for each of the said denominations from Pakistan to do likewise.

Jews, Parsis, Sikhs, Rajputs and Muslims all live in a ghettofied world in India and would rather have their rights than the bragging rights to 1971 war.

Is the Chief of a branch of the Armed forces a symbolic or ceremonial post ? One Sikh officer was commissioned in 2007, how many followed thereafter in the fighting arms? How high has the Sikh officer risen?

This sums up the issue india has in their society. A mighty fine achievement has to be tarnished with by bringing religion into it.
The elephant in the room will not go away.
India should try promoting Indian success rather than breaking it down. It shows the cracks and strains in their society by the writer of the article and the OP where they have to enlighten us that - look at us - we have Muslims here that have contributed - why shouldn’t you have Muslims? They are Indian first aren’t they?

They are 100% Indian and religious affiliation is their personal choice. No need to bring their religion when we are talking about science.

 

[Musings]

Your attention is drawn to post # 7 above

If you look at my post about this achievement on that thread - you will see my admiration for this work by india as a nation. By you bringing the religion of those badges with this honour is simply not needed or warranted - it’s almost as if Hindus try so hard as to point out Muslims were involved - you and I both know no nation needs to highlight the religion - just focus on the greatness of the achievement - don’t tarnish it.

 

[hatehs]

Thankful to everyone who contributed to the Chandrayaan project.

@hatehs Please can you open a thread that proves that these scientists have already been lynched right after the Chandrayaan landing? You can spice up the title as:

“Radical RSS Hindus lynch Muslim scientists of Chandrayaan after they were no longer needed. Hindus want to keep Oxygen only for the Hindus.”

Thanks in advance.

What this lowlife is implying is that I'm fabricating all the lynching cases and confessions, footage and speeches from vile poojari rioters and priests themselves. And of course, the brigade of Chindoos who usually browbeat me for doing Chindoooooooooophobia and swear on Shiva's phallus that they are ashamed of what's going in India, are liking his post.

 

[VkdIndian]

I somehow feel bringing their religion out, diminishes their contribution.

Actually, this shouldn’t have been highlighted, because there is no end to it.
Tomorrow, it would be caste, then ethnicity and then it can take off in any direction with some people making a big issue out of it, for political or personal gains.

The highlight should have been - A cohesive team of exceptional professionals, who believed in what they were doing and gave their 200% for it’s success.

NEW DELHI—Meet some of the Muslim scientists and engineers who contributed to India’s moon mission success.

Together with other scientists, they played an important role in the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 project team that wrote a new history in the world of space science and technology, bringing immense laurels to the country.

Because of our scientists, India now ranks counts with the US, Russia, and China – countries that have mastered in spacecraft technology. It would not be wrong to say that India has emerged as one of the “Vishwa Guru” (world leaders) in spacecraft science.

Here are the names and brief biodata of the few Muslims scientists who were part of the Chandrayaan-3 team.

*SANA FIROZ, a B.Tech. (2006-2010) in electronics and communications engineering from Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology at Gorakhpur in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, is among the 54 female scientists and engineers who contributed to the success of the Chandrayaan-3.

Sana, who hails from the small town of Mau, neighbouring Azamgarh, has been working with ISRO at Mohali since 2013.

• 
• Husband-wife, Sana Firoz, and Yasser, who were part of the Chandrayaan-3 that landed successfully at the moon’s surface on August 23, 2023.

*Sana’s husband YASSER AMMAR, also a B.Tech.(2006-2010) in electronics and communications engineering from Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology at Gorakhpur in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, was also in the Chandrayaan-3 project team. Yasser is a native of Gorakhpur, the hometown of UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath. Yasser also works at ISRO’s Mohali facility.

Yasser, who has been working with ISRO since 2010, has written several research papers, including one on “Design and development of Silicon Photomultiplier for Photon Counting Applications” published in the Journal of Spacecraft Technology, a prestigious research journal published by ISRO.

*MOHAMMED SABIR ALAM, is another engineer, who played an important role in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Holding a B Tech degree inaerospace, aeronautical, and astronautical engineering from the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala), he has been working at ISRO’s Thiruvananthapuram centre since 2018.

AREEB AHMAD, a B.Tech in mechanical engineering (2015-19 batch) from Jamia Millia Islamia, is a young scientist who contributed immensely to the success of the Chandrayaan-3. He hails from Muzaffarnagar district of UP. Posted at ISRO’s Sriharikota facility, Areeb was part of an inspection team before the Chandrayaan-3 was launched in July 14, 2023. The spacecraft landed at the lunar south pole region of the moon on August 23, 2023, in a span of six weeks.

AKHTEDAR ABBAS, a native of the Gonda district in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and posted at Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, also worked with the Chandrayaan-3 project, bringing immense pride to the nation. A B.Tech (2006-2010) from Aligarh Muslim University and an M.Tech from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, he has been working with ISRO since March 2015. Before joining ISRO, he worked as a professor at the DIT University in Dehradun and Operations Manager at Indian Oil Corporation Limited.

Another Muslim engineer involved in the Chandrayaan-3 mission is Mohd Kashif, a B Tech in Mechanical Engineering from Jamia Millia Islamia. He joined ISRO at its Bengaluru centre in December 2021. He obtained the top rank in ISRO recruitment in 2021.

Love my brother and sisters who contributed to the moon mission!! Hats off to all specially women who opted to pursue study and career and made India proud!!

and @indushek - under ideal circumstances what you say is fine. religion shouldn't be brought up at all. B U T

given the false propaganda about condition of muslims in India (lack education, opportunities, jobs, ,,,) it does help to publish stories of such participation.

it is not just muslims participation story. many Tamil channels highlight how Dr Muthuvel played a key role

and there is also another sub-text about how many / most ISRO engineers are not from IITs but from a disperse set of 2nd and 3rd tier cities and institutions

each 'constituency' represented claims their piece of the cake. Why not.

one day India will get there when religion and other classifications don't merrit mention. Not there yet.
Meanwwhile this serves to undo some of the false propaganda

I respect the people.But tagging the subject of the thread as Muslim engineer or scientist is not good. They are all Indian scientists. Do we ever see any one claiming Virat Kohli as Hindu batsman or any other scientist in India as an Hindu scientist?

I can't disagree, but it has become a catch 22 if you will. If you point this out, they will say 'see they have no one to mention, so they want to play these two three people'. If you don't 'In a increasingly intolerant India, which calls itself World's largest democracy - Minorities are not just marginalized but are also facing Genocide'.

No matter what India achieves, the leftists / Liberals / Intellectuals will never be happy. I by now feel that if all of Hindus give up their wealth to Minorities and start begging on streets, someone will say 'hey look certain group has been left by these wily Hindus' or some such crap.

Fact of the matter is, they want relevance and fame over years. They are the ones who tell how India is to be governed/how its to be praised/how it has to be analyzed. You go one cm away from their point, you are a Bhakt a moron a Modi or Yogi lover and what not. When you have a section like this, happy to rile up people why do you even need outsiders lol.

Call it part of cyber warfare of current day by the usual adversaries, mixed with liberal agenda which is shaking and shivering since conservative leaders began to spring around the globe. Am sure you must be aware of the rift between DOD and state department, during Modi's visit.

I expect more muck throwing and mud slinging of India in coming days, as Soros and his pets came out in open sometime recently. The State Department has been challenged, and they will work on their propoganda fully but to the extent that DOD's plans aren't trumped.
