A NASA intern was mocked for posting pictures with Hindu idols.
NASA internships and fellowships leverage NASA’s unique missions and programs to enhance and increase the capability, diversity and size of the nation’s future science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce. Internships are available from high school to graduate level
The post on Twitter showed photos of four diverse interns and was simply captioned, “Today’s the day: applications for fall NASA internships are due!”

One of the photos captured more attention – one of an Indian-American girl who had idols next to her laptop.
The photo showed the girl sitting with her laptop on a table along with idols of Goddess Lakshmi, Saraswati and more Hindu idols.

After seeing this we said;
Science ka Naash kar diya NASA ne. https://t.co/Wx0fy7D1BC— Mission Ambedkar (@MissionAmbedkar) July 11, 2021
While the netizens mocked her, she also received a wave of support from India.
Great to see that Goddess Saraswati has blessed them with knowledge. Can't wait to see their bright future ??
