Indian Space Traveller

-->

Anthanaut or Akashyatri ?

Last day's news papers report that the ‘ignited minds’ of Trivandrum were quizzing the Chairman , ISRO, on Indian space activities (ISRO). To a question “What would you call an Indian Space traveler ?’, Chairman, ISRO said that its going to be a students level competition to suggest a suitable name.

To the readers of my earlier posts here would have already knew it.

Anthanaut

Akashnaut

Gaganachary

Akashyathri

Indonaut

Indianaut 
.......

Astronaut, Cosmonaut, Spationaut, Taikonaut and Anthanaut

Do you know who is an ‘Anthanaut’ ? If not, just check whether you know the following terms.

Astronaut, Cosmonaut, Spationaut, and Taikonaut.

Got it ? Now, you may know. Space travelers from America, Russia, France, and China, are respectively called the above names.But how about ‘Anthanaut’ ? For us in India, ‘Anthariksh’ means Space. So, the right name for a space traveler from India would be ‘Anthanaut’ (or Antharnaut ? ). ‘Indianaut’ or ‘Bharanaut’, if someone coins, doesn’t sound good !

Please check who is the first ‘Anthanaut’ ! May be that’s too early !!
