message: The phrase "became a naturalized United States citizen" has twice been removed by anon editor/s. Is the phrase false or inaccurate? Is there a reason it should not be in the article? Please explain. -- Infrogmation 16:15, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Does she belong in the "Indian Astronauts" category?  She was a naturalized US citizen, and was in NASA, the U.S. space corps, not the Indian space corps.  -- FelineAvenger 05:26, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: "...first astronaut to have been born in India."
This may cause some confusion. Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian in space. See: http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/SPACE/space-human.html . 
There is no confusion since Rakesh Sharma was India's first cosmonaut, so Chawla naturally is the first Indian born astronaut. --PremKudvaTalk 11:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably.  Some web sites like to say "first Indian-American" in space, but no doubt for any person in space, you can find some X that satisfies "first X in space", so these kinds of "records" are just pointless.  -(
I know this is a late reply...but Premkudva the English genius probably DOESN'T realise that cosmonaut is Russian for Astronaut.... --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:44, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "First..." 

message: This section at the end "She died a hero and a role-model for many young women, especially in India and particularly those in her hometown of Karnal where she serves to encourage young people to follow in her footsteps." seems way too opinionated for Wikipedia. I have not changed it, mind.  Palnu 18:53, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Per MOS:OPENPARABIO we need to include her citizenship here, not her ethnicity. Unless there is reliably sourced evidence that she maintained an Indian passport as well as her US citizenship, she is considered an American, with ethnicity to be discussed in her early/personal life sections.
