Dr Kalam to u our Salam A doyen of nuclear tech and mastermind of India"s atomic test in Pokran He took India into the fore among nuclear states and gave India the strength and resilience Today India is among the top 5 in nuclear enabled nations and the socalled firstrate poers are reluctant to pick any quarrel. Even China is stepping back in issues. He was not only a guide to young generations but a father to defence capabilities. He put us in the ratrace to explore the outer universe and thus improved the missile tech. A missile man in blood he strengthened our urge to planet explorations. At a tme we are preparing to set foot in Mars/venus/Jupiter, he has booked his ticket early. He is not there to see the victories and savour the success. Your sudden demise is a void to India and truly we feel deprived of an able leader to innovate new ideas. You were an all embracing man and you put religion behind te growth of India. An unassuming president and one-among the citizens, you had set an example to the highest office of this country. I take this opportunity to thank our legend Sri Vajpayee who made you the president and cornered glory for himself as well as for the BJP. The party continued to support you for the second term but it went otherwise. You stood beyond politics and politicians. This was a unique quality, a hallmark of a great personalit As long as India remains strong, you will live in the hearts of Indians.
