Image credits: X/@annamalai_k Shubhanshu Shukla, an Indian astronaut made history on Wednesday by embarking on a space mission Axiom-4 along with three other astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). The 39-year-old astronaut reached ISS and made the statement, 'Namaskar, my dear countrymen! What a ride! We are back in the space once again after 41 years. It's an amazing ride. We are revolving around the Earth at a speed of 7.5 kilometres per second. The Tiranga embossed on my shoulders tells me that I am with all of you. This journey of mine is not a beginning to the International Space Station (ISS) but to India's Human Space Programme. I want all of you to be part of this journey. Your chest, too, should swell with let's initiate India's Human Space Programme. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!' His family was welcomed at his former school in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh where his mother, Asha Shukla watched his lift-off in an emotional moment. While the astronaut will be making history in space, his family awaits his return from the 14-day mission. Here's all who form a part of Shukla's family. Shubhanshu Shukla: Family life Image credits: X/@imohannarayan Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla is an Indian Air Force test pilot and ISRO astronaut. A native of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, Shukla was born on October 10, 1985, to Shambhu Dayal Shukla, a retired government officer and Asha Shukla, a homemaker. During the lift-off of the spacecraft carrying him and the other astronauts to space, Shukla's mother shed some happy tears. 'This feels great. I feel very proud and fortunate that I am the father of such a child. This is the most joyous day of my life," said his father. "I have nothing more to say at this moment. I am delighted. Though I am eagerly looking forward for him to return after a successful mission, I also know that even after returning back on earth, it will take a while before he actually gets back amongst us," added his mother. Shukla is the youngest of three siblings, he has two elder sisters- Shuchi and Gunjan. Gunjan Shukla, one of the two sisters was watching the event live from Lucknow and said that it was a very emotional moment for her and the family. She said they are now "relieved that he has completed the first two stages of his journey safely." She also added that they would perform "rituals, puja, bhandara--whatever is a good deed, we will do our best to do that." Shubhanshu Shukla: Love life Image credits: X/@Neetivaan Shukla is married to Kamna Shukla, who is a dentist by profession. The couple's tale of love goes back to their school days in Lucknow. 'We've been studying together since Class 3. We started out as best friends... I've known him as Gunjan, as Shubhanshu— the quiet, shy boy in class—who's now become such an inspiration to so many,' said his wife to TOI. Before embarking on his journey, Shukla took to Instagram to express his gratitude towards everyone who had a part in his journey, including his wife. "Special thanks to @kamnashubha for being the wonderful partner that you are. Without you, none of this was possible but more importantly none of this would matter.." The couple are parents to a six-year-old son Sid, who Kamna said is too young to grasp what is unfolding. 'It's all just exciting for him. He thinks everyone's father is an astronaut. When we visited Nasa, he was thrilled to see rockets and suits. But when asked what he liked most, he said, 'deers in Nasa's park are very nice'. That's his comprehension for now. I'm sure when he grows up, he'll be super proud.' One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change

Smiling buddha to Operation Shakti
On the morning of May 18, 1974, at 8:05 sharp, some 110 kilometres from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan's Thar desert, the push of a button announced India's entry into the closed club of nuclear nations. The reverberations of that test, conducted underground in arid Pokhran, and called Pokhran-I (codename Smiling Buddha), were felt around the world. With this detonation, India had become the only country outside the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council – the P5, namely the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, and China – to have conducted a confirmed nuclear weapons test. China had tested its first just 10 years ago, in 1964, two years after the Indo-China war. India termed it a 'peaceful nuclear explosion', but it was in effect a decisive and unequivocal declaration that it had nuclear capability. The country's nuclear journey gained pace in the late 1950s under Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru through Project Phoenix. It was mainly to promote civilian nuclear energy, but with physicists like Homi Bhabha, the 'father of the Indian nuclear programme', laying the groundwork for weapons development. The Atomic Energy Act of 1962 gave further control to the central government over atomic energy resources. After Nehru died in 1964, the efforts shifted mostly towards peaceful goals under Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Gandhian scientist Vikram Sarabhai. However, with Shastri's successor, Indira Gandhi, the momentum towards weaponisation resumed. A small, secret team of scientists and engineers worked through the 1960s and early 1970s to build the necessary infrastructure and technical capabilities. The 1971 Indo-Pak war, during which the US sent warships to the Bay of Bengal, further galvanised India's resolve, culminating in Gandhi authorising the development of a nuclear test device in 1972. India had already opposed joining the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which it saw as discriminatory. In later years, while it participated in negotiations for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), it did not ratify it for the same reasons. Pokhran-I invited strong, sharp reactions from the world. India faced immediate sanctions. Major nuclear suppliers shut their doors to it. Less than a year later, led by the US, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) was formed to restrict and regulate the supply of nuclear material and know-how to countries that hadn't ratified the NPT. The US further tightened export controls by passing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act, 1978. An editorial in The New York Times read: 'Such great talent of resources has been squandered on the vanity of power, while 600 million Indians slip deeper into poverty. The sixth member of the nuclear club may be passing the beggar bowl before the year is out.' India continued with its programme through the '80s and '90s, aware that neighbouring Pakistan was also acquiring nuclear capability. Meanwhile, the original five nuclear weapons states kept a close eye on India, which had by now opened its economy to the world. Twenty-four years after Smiling Buddha, the hot, barren Pokhran would once again witness a country's determination to exercise its sovereign right to security, despite the intense scrutiny and the threat of sanctions. It was again in the month of May, when average temperatures in Pokhran hover above 40 degrees Celsius, that India conducted its second test – a series of five nuclear tests, actually; three on May 11 and two on May 13, 1998. Pokhran-II, codenamed Operation Shakti, with the devices named Shakti-I through Shakti-V, carried out under Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, also invited intense criticism from the global community. Besides the Western world, countries in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea and Malaysia also reacted adversely. While India stood its ground, it made known its 'no-first-use' policy. India's record since has established it as a nuclear-responsible country. In 2008, it signed a civil nuclear agreement with the US, and the same year, it received a waiver from the NSG. It has since signed civil nuclear cooperation agreements with Japan, Australia, South Korea, France and Vietnam, among other countries.

Congress hails launch of Axiom-4 mission with Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla aboard
The Congress on Wednesday (June 25, 2025) hailed the successful launch of Axiom-4 space mission carrying Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla and said the nation is proud of the achievement. "'Touch the Sky with Glory'. We welcome the successful launch of the space mission carrying astronauts from India, Hungary, Poland, and the US," Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said in a post on X. He said after Squadron Leader Rakesh Sharma in 1984, Group Captain Shukla is now en route to becoming the second Indian to travel to space after 41 years. "We pray for his successful mission. The entire nation is proud of this achievement," he said. In a post on X, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, 'A proud moment for every Indian as Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla launches off on his journey to the International Space Station.' '41 years after Squadron Leader Rakesh Sharma became the first Indian in space, he now carries forward that legacy, inspiring every Indian,' he said, wishing him and the team a safe and successful return. The Congress, on its official X handle also said, "Historic moment! Congratulations to Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and the international crew on their successful space mission launch!". "Following Squadron Leader Rakesh Sharma's pioneering journey in 1984, Shubhanshu Shukla is the second Indian to travel to space after 41 years. We're incredibly proud of him, representing India's growing presence in space exploration! Wishing them a safe and successful journey to the cosmos!," the Congress said. Group Captain Shukla scripted history by embarking on a space odyssey along with three others to the International Space Station as part of a commercial mission by Axiom Space on Wednesday (June 25, 2025). The much-delayed Axiom-4 mission blasted off from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida at 12:01 pm IST towards the ISS amid cheers from watch parties organised across the world, including at Group Captain Shukla's City Montessori School in Lucknow where his parents witnessed the historic launch. Lucknow-born Group Captain Shukla became the first Indian astronaut to travel to the International Space Station, a journey that comes 41 years after Rakesh Sharma's eight days in orbit as part of the then Soviet Union's Salyut-7 space station in 1984.
