kalam

So sad that the death of Kalam was used for promoting a spam website.

By the way my beef is with the fact that Kalam was undoubtedly the best choice to be the president for a second term.

This is notable because Kalam had proven himself beyond any doubt.

Abdul Kalam was a musician too and played the veena.

Abdul Kalam inspired the children and young people of India.

How could they disgrace Adbul Kalam and India like this?

There is no doubt that S Radhakrishnan and APJ Abdul Kalam were two greatest Presidents India had who made the most impact out of a ceremonial post (and not in a political way).

Even with the limited powers that the office of President has in India someone like Kalam would had never been subservient to someone like the Gandhis and instead focused his energy (like his first term) on whatever he can do to inspire youth.

I was pointing out the irony that there was no political will to make Bharat Ratna (highest civilian award bestowed by Govt of India) APJ Abdul Kalam the President of India for a second term but get a dummy president instead.

The article title right now reads: "Former President APJ Abdul Kalam is no more with us: Collapses During Speech in Shillong"

Please update to: "Nuclear scientist and former president of India, Abdul Kalam, has died"

Abdul Kalam was a true symbol of "The Indian Dream".

Nope, still says "Indian nuclear scientist Abdul Kalam has died"

Kalam's quote, requesting that there be no holiday in his recognition, but rather an extra day of work.

Kalam himself wanted people to work harder on his death day and not take a holiday.

Kalam speak to a packed auditorium at the IAC [1][2] in 2007 in Hyderabad, India.
