ISRO to launch a man in space by 2015

Target: ISRO
Region: India
Background (Preamble):
I think India should put its attention on putting a man in orbit with its own launch vehicle by the year 2015.
If the USSR could do it 44 years ago in Vostok-1 and the Chinese did it only recently surely it is time for the worlds largest democrcacy which already has an advanced launcher program to put a pressurized capsule in orbit for about 24 hours with reentry capabilites for either a hard landing or a splashdown somewhere in the Indian ocean.
The spacecraft itself just needs to consist of a service module and a reentry capsule.
It would be fantastic for Indian national pride and boost the interest of Indian students in science courses in university. 10 years is a long time.
Inida can do it. If india does not accomplish this it will mean that India has yeilded to US attempts to stunt the growth of Indian technological advancements.
