Abdul Kalam left a rich legacy
Your editorial A humble man with big ideas (July 29) was
poignant. With the death of Dr Abdul Kalam, India has not just lost a great
scientist, but a great human being.
Two major incidents made this week particularly tragic for
the country, as there was also a terrorist attack in Punjab.
Dr Abdul Kalam was a visionary, as he devoted his time to
nurture young talent. He realised that the young generation is the backbone of
the nation. He was also kind and compassionate. Dr Abdul Kalam strongly
advocated an action plan to develop India into a “knowledge superpower”. His
rich legacy will keep his memory alive. His books, particularly Wings of Fire
and Ignited Minds, will carry his thoughts and ideas to millions of people. May
his soul rest in peace.
