QR – Cure – Quizzing Realms – 209

Easy one, actually. But lets end this week on a high.

Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian to go into space. There is a legend which says that when his craft was passing over India, Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister, asked him how the country looked from space. What four-word reply did Sharma give?

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS: Seen the latest post on my opinion blog?

*************************

Nice! Thirteen answers! And all correct! Sharma had said, “Saare jahan se achchha!

  5. we went to Nehru Planetarium, New Delhi back in 2000, and there if you put 50 paise in a box and put on headphones, you hear conversation between Indira ji and Sq. Leader Sharma ...

    Indiraji: "Upar se Bharat kaisa dikhta hai aapko?"
    Sharma: "Sare jahan se accha"

    (Good question, if asked in audio/video... available on youtube)
