I used to feel proud that we (India) have a president whose knowledge, gentleness and dedication is unmatched. You are great son of India and we assure you that we will try to adhere your footsteps.
I used to dream that you should be President of our country for next 15-20 years, so that the current generation (kids and students) will grow up and will make India a strong country.
You did your best by remaining within the limits of constitution. You have raised the quality bar for future generation.
I salute you for giving us the wonderful 5 years. We will remain greatful to you. With this discussion board, I wish you all the best.
I request you to visit atleast one University every quarter (any state). Students feel motivate by just looking at you. Please imagine if they find you around them for even few minutes... will bring a great amount of change.
My eyes are filled with tears..... You are a great son of India like General Manekshaw.
i feels bad politics of politician struck again. its unfortunately that great scientist, honest human being more over a president of people of India didn't get the second term. if these politician think that he doesn't deserve second chance them why they fight election again and again. why don't they leave politics after there one term. there one term is enough torcher for all of us Indian. and one think i want to say till now and in future he will be known as one of best of Indian president who has his own thinking and not worked as puppet of ruling party. and he is and will remain better president then our first woman president.
Shri Abdul Kalam is truely role for our country and our society.In this fast changing life,we really need such a personality like him.Who can teach us moral values by his own examples.Certainly will miss you but still you are with us like a torch bearer to take our country to 21st century. Salut!Sri Kalam.

Please make our country a place to be proud of a dream nation of India 2020 we will definitely fulfill it on your behalf , i just wanted that the dream should be fulfilled when you are the president of our nation. Its a promise from the young generation to you someday we will get you back to your well deserved place. SAURABH, JAIPUR
Abdul kalam was a decent man and too nice a person.He was much loved and respected by those around him and those who ran the country.The only thing kalam did not do is use this position to his advantage. He could have raised his voice against the atrocities and injustices commited by the far right hindu communal parties against the minorities scapegoating them and even framing them for crimes they did not commit.He had a chance . He lost it.But again the position of a president is only a figurehead and i dont believe he could have done much. Even if he did novbody would have listened tohim any way. He might have even be accused by the BJP/RSS for 'sympathising with the terrorists' as these ignorant people appear to harbour hate and prejudice by their stereo typing the muslim minority of india.

Some people will never change, however good anyone does for their community. You are the communal guys and deserve the treatment given by US.
