Tanmoy, you instructed Fedora to be a lone wolf and to be the  
commander-in-chief.  If you want the active boot-loader in Fedora to  
behave differently, then sort it out when you are in Fedora.  From  
Fedora you can update the list of OS's on your hard disk.

It is not _always_ that the default is the best choice!!  -  which is  
the reason why a question is asked at all in the first place, right  :-)
