As we sit down to write this, we're taken back to the 2011 ICC World Cup final at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, where chants of "India, India!" reverberated off the walls. Well, the pace at which the country and its immense talent is stealing the spotlight on the global stage is reminiscent of this World Cup victory. From sport and fashion, to design, science and much more, India is being celebrated across the globe. We explore our proudest moments in recent months.
TO THE MOON AND BACK
Today, to say that India is making its mark around the planet would certainly be an understatement for we've made a historic landing on the Moon! The Lander Module of Chandrayaan-3 finally touched down on the Moon on August 23, making India the first country to reach its unexplored larger south pole. "Chandrayaan-3 is the result of the work done by thousands of engineers and staff across institutions," said ISRO Chairman S Somanath. "It was not an easy task at all. The learnings from Chandrayaan-2 really helped us perfect the methodology." Launched on July 14, this was the third lunar mission of the space organisation which aims to operate the lander (Vikram) and rover (Pragyan) for roughly one lunar day (14 Earth days). Both are equipped with instruments designed to deepen our understanding of the Moon.
