Shubhanshu Shukla\u2019s journey is not just his alone, it is the journey of 140 crore Indians. This is a proud moment for every Indian, especially for the youth of J&amp;K who now have a new inspiration to dream big,\u201d Dr Chowdhary said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Calling it a landmark in the annals of Indian space history, Chowdhary also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for placing India on the global stage of scientific and technological excellence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cUnder PM Modi\u2019s leadership, India\u2019s space aspirations have received a renewed momentum \u2014 be it Chandrayaan, Gaganyaan or now Axiom-4. This mission proves that the new India is bold, ambitious, and unstoppable,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Axiom-4 mission, carrying astronauts from India, Hungary, Poland, and the US, was launched aboard SpaceX\u2019s Falcon-9 rocket and is expected to dock at the ISS on Thursday after a 28-hour journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shukla, a Lucknow-born astronaut, is the first Indian to reach the ISS, and only the second Indian in history to go to space after Rakesh Sharma in 1984.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr Chowdhary emphasized that such missions inspire the youth of J&amp;K to pursue careers in science and technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn every school of Jammu and Kashmir, this moment must be shown and celebrated. Let our children believe that they too can reach space. Shukla&#8217;s success proves that with determination, even the sky is not the limit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chowdhary also applauded the diversity of the mission, which saw astronauts sharing their cultural food in space, including Indian curry and mango nectar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEven in space, India\u2019s flavour and culture are shining bright. It\u2019s a moment of pride and soft power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shubhanshu Shukla is expected to interact with students, scientists, and even Prime Minister Modi during his 14-day stay at the ISS, where the crew will conduct over 60 scientific experiments.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0a2e\u0a3e\u0a2b\u0a3c \u0a15\u0a30\u0a28\u0a3e, \u0a07\u0a39 \u0a16\u0a2c\u0a30 \u0a24\u0a41\u0a39\u0a3e\u0a21\u0a40 \u0a2c\u0a47\u0a28\u0a24\u0a40 \u0a2d\u0a3e\u0a38\u0a3c\u0a3e \u0a35\u0a3f\u0a71\u0a1a \u0a09\u0a2a\u0a32\u0a2c\u0a27 \u0a28\u0a39\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a39\u0a48\u0964 \u0a15\u0a3f\u0a30\u0a2a\u0a3e \u0a15\u0a30\u0a15\u0a47 \u0a07\u0a71\u0a25\u0a47 \u0a26\u0a47\u0a16\u0a4b\u0964 Jammu, 25 June 2025 J&amp;K BJP spokesperson Dr Tahir Chowdhary on Wednesday lauded Shubhanshu Shukla\u2019s historic journey to the International Space Station (ISS), calling it a monumental moment that marks India\u2019s glorious return to human spaceflight after 41 years.
