Ignited minds - APJ Abdul Kalam

Ding-dong ! Here is a book dedicated to the Indian youths. The aim of this book is to turn India to a developed country by the year 2020. Dr. Kalam shares his personal and professional experiences, his visits to different places and states , his interaction with school children and college students and meetings with sadhus and eminent personalities. He often asserts the important role of parents and elementary school teachers as role models to ignite young minds. He not only advocates the Gandhian principle of  rural  development but also has got a foolproof strategy for the same. The chapter on role models, esp on ancient mathematicians and astronomers of India is quite educational and inspiring .


                APJ has added many questions and his answers for sound effects. One student has asked an important question, '' Why Indians, particularly educated Indians excel when they go to the USA and Europe. They become rich also''.Kalam's answer is teamwork and willingness to take risks. That's all? Ha ! In a foreign land, away from one's own people, an expatriate is  scared stiff but ironically works hard to the core to prove his worth. Anyhow, its high time and this book is a gentle but alarming wake up call for all Indians - patriots and expatriates.


               Chak de India !!
