Shri Nambi Narayan had been one of the important ( not top) sceintific executive in ISRO thirty years back when he was implicated in espionage case in 1992 by Kerala state police. But CBI after enquiry found that it was a false case. And gave clean chit to Nambi Narayan in 1995 after two years. K Karunakaran who was CM had to resign on pressure from Ak Antony faction on this episode. Now What happened with Nambi is unfortunate and Govts, courts and CBI took corrective actions later. But halla hu on India’s advancement in space technology going backwards with Nambi ‘sir’ not there to continue with ISRO is a absurd hyperbole. Thirty five years back he must have been one among score of scientists working on cryogenic engine which India ultimately succeeded. How can one person in middle level could be projected to be so vitally critical to Indian space mission that ‘India went thirty years behind’.
With all due respect to Nambi and his abilities and also to corrective measures by govt to restore his honour, he is being unnecessarily given that much credit as to practically demean a generation of able sceintific talent in ISRO which has steered us to this proud place we have in space technology. His case was solved in two years and a CM had to resign. If you refer news archives that time it was rival faction of congress led by Antony which stood for him and made congress CM resign not as much the opposition.
For film it seems Nambi too has been roped in to put in promotional hand and he seem to enjoy it. Yes he was wronged and police officers responsible are behind bars for that but that is it. Nambi can’t be, from being a middle level scientific officer to suddenly turned in to being something like father of Indian scape mission for satisfying present environment and for commercial success of a film.
