'Instead of Shubhanshu Shukla...': Congress' Udit Raj bats for a Dalit astronaut; says there's no Nasa exam to pick space travellers

Raj argued that opportunities for marginalized communities were limited during Rakesh Sharma's spaceflight. He believes a Dalit or OBC candidate could have been selected for this mission, highlighting the need for representation.
