Certainly not Sarabhai's legacy as claimed by former ISRO chief, G.Madhavan Nair in the context of Antrix-Devas Agreement on leasing out transponders on two proposed Satellites of country's space agency. In his interview with Prashant G.N of the Sunday Times of India, Chennai, February 20, 2011, he lamented the reaction of people towards this agreement and tried to justify the selection of Devas on the ground of novel technology and innovation offered by the said private company. It is very difficult to accept this theory on the face of it. Nobody knows what prevented them from making it open to the public before selecting a particular company however good and efficient it may be in its work. This shows how selective and secretive the functionaries are in and around PMO in distributing largesses and licenses fetching thousands of crores to select people without public knowledge.
