Everything is fine with the above article except for comparing Dr.Abdul Kalam with a Politician . Why ? He was not a politician but a Scientist / Teacher who became a President .Why not the same yardstick be applied to every Indian ? By Challeging a politician to live up to the standards of Abdul Kalam we conveniently escape ourselves from such a scrutiny .

No doubt Kalam was a good citizen of India. But it is better to avoid making comparison

Rarest of rare human specimen; once in a blue moon people like Dr A P J Abdul Kalam are born.

My respect for Abdul Kalam has come down a few notches after coming to know that he was a disciple of the Botchasan vasi monk who hates women coming nearby. That does not speak well for a rocket-expert!

The Swami is not a misogynist..He is a follower of his religion which ordains him not to come in touch with a female...So what is wrong with that...You have similar stuff in Islam & Christianity too!

I am not concerned with Islam, Christianity, etc. But if a swamiji of any religion has the foolishness to say women are polluting and should be kept safely away, then that swamiji is a hypocrite or foolish and people who claim they have realized transcendence under such swamis also are not good fellows.

Dr. Kalam is a rarest of rare and during his lifetime he did not expect respect from anybody ; but he respected everybody,
