Dr. Kalam, your words are in vain. Many of our parliamentarians are in the process of a slow developmental cycle, and are probabaly too young in their development to understand words like Vision2000 and Energy Independence. Look at the pathetic situation, when a departing President in 2007, has to exhort our parliamentarians to prepare a Vision2000. That is one more item in my beloved country that is way behind schedule!! Our Parliamentarians are good to talk only about Reservation 2000 - for several castes, communities, in the private sector etc.
I wish you all the very best in your post-presidential life. You are a man of many ideas, however, if there is one cause that, in my opinion, will be well served by your epousing it, is to fight for the pre-eminence of merit in Indian enterprise. India is known abroad today for the skills of its scientists, engineers, its artists and its authors. Reservation does not help in making India a great nation, in fact it will ultimately lead to the demise of individual enterprise. Help us fight this malaise, - we definitely know you can - if you will!!

One clarification - please read Vision2000 as Vision2020 - typo!!
Dear politicians look at the support for Dr.Kalam. In the five years he made lot of youngsters patriotic. By rejecting his second term you all did a blunder for our nation.

Mohan you are absolutely right. As T N Sheshan governed Election commission like a tiger, Kalam gave some value to the position of President. All politician knew that they cannot influence Dr Kalam, (same as in case of Venkatraman, K R Narayanan) they thought only a politician with cheating cases, criminal cases, corrupt would be better for them for Post of President.
Why single out only Pratibha Patil. We had some well known Idiots, criminals, corrupt and good for nothing Presidents like Zail Singh, Shankar Dayal Sharma & VV Giri. I still cannot forget the day Zail Singh was vacating Rashtrapati Bhavan, when he called his relatives from Punjab and asked them to rip off all the Air conditioners, geysers from bathrooms, rip off taps and other artifacts electrical fittings and took away with him. What a shameless character. His conduct as Chief Minister of Punjab is well known as most corrupt CM.
About Shankar Dayal Sharma....no need to say...he got this position due to sympathy wave coz his daughter and son in law were killed by punjab terrorists. He took lot of undue advantage of his position, if described in detail will run into thousands of pages. Its time that we educated people go out and vote out the corrupt and criminals....and elect persons like Dr Kalam, T N Sheshan, Khairnar, Venkatraman, Kiran Bedi etc. COME ON INDIANS WAKE UP!!!!!!!!
My heart is full of sorrow as India has lost a major opportunity to progress because IDIOTIC political parties of congress and cpi plotted against him.
People of India understand this:
Pro is opposite of Con so Pro-gress is opposite of Con-gress
Hence Congress will never allow India to progress.
CPI are chinese party of India who in 1962 said that they will welcome Chinese soldiers that were invading Mother India.
Today these anti-Indian forces have joined hands to destroy our beloved India.
Please rise and spread the message: 1. Voting is must. We MUST vote. 2. Kick out CPI and Congress from all corners of India.
