My Father Mr.jambunathan from Corps of Engineer's Indian Army was part of Antarctica Expedition Team from 92-94. Since there was no digital media nobody was there to showcase him to the world.

When we were building Maitriin 1988-90 station leader of the Soviet station said the same thing- no country can build in one season. He then taunted- must be all American imported stuff. I convinced him that structure and systems were totally Indian. Leader of then East German station Dr Rudolf Meyer said if our army is allowed to move out of Germany ( not allowed after WWII) we would have done it. I said you can't beat the Indian Army
