Indian Space Traveller

Anthanaut or Indianaut ?
Last day 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, the answer is already known. I had suggested a name ( I think that’s very appropriate !) – “Anthanaut’. May be I can propose some more names…
Indonaut
Indianaut
Akashnaut
Gaganachary
Akashyathri ....... And so on…

But I feel Anthanaut is the right one !! Do you ?

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 !!
