Mind your language. Don't cross the limit
It is our fortune we have a visionary, humble person like Dr.Kalam. It is sad the decision makers of the country do not involve or elicit opinion of Dr.Kalam.

Mr Kalam is an eminent scietist. But I strongly disagree to the fact he is a visionary/statesman or a person who can change India fundamentally . He is a person much hyped by the media and popular amongst the middle class and cyber collies who shares his vision about India fast becoming a global power. But I think he has no concrete solution to India remedies. HE talks of providing Urban amenitis to rural areas to rid India of its poverty. MY simple question is --Is there no poverty in Urban India. Has he not seen slums in Mumbai and other cities. How does he propose to deal with problems like illiteracy ,corruption and fundamentalism and farmer suicides.

He has concrete and workable plans. Just the political will to exercise the bureaucratic machinery is lacking; in our system
"Is there no poverty in Urban India." - ofcourse there is. But its an effect result of an cause, what is the cause. The problem cannot be solved if keep correcting the effect as the cause will always bring the same effect. The cause here is rural development, there is no rural development and hence the people flock to Mumbai creating slums, the effect. Once the rural areas start giving at least 10% of the basic amenities we can see a huge reduction in the people flocking to the main cities.
So when Mr Kalam talks about rural development he is talking about the cause not the effect.
The problem of illiteracy, corruption and fundamentalism cannot be solved in a day. India faces another big problem the people who goes to school turns out to be only literates where we want educationalists in the country. There is a difference between literate and being educated. It is this group of people who are more involved in corruption and fundamentalism. Now to quote a gentleman "If you want to be corrupt know your law" see how true it is, no corrupt people would have have gone free if only the literates were not corrupt.
So besides solving for illiteracy the country also needs to change the exsisting education system which does not instill the quest to think beyond in those young childrens. Also its your and mine responsibility to see that those young childrens start having a thought of their own and that will help the country.

You may say i am too optimistic but dont you think its better to be optimistic then pessimistic and complain about everything.
What is use of it. Again & again we are talking same issues but practically wealthy people become wealthier and poor percentage is increasing day by day. The middle class people are always barking nothing he have guts to do anything. I do not how long we have to patient. Every politicians are talking when he /she stands on the dais but again same issues with so many problems persisting. Corruption now a days highest manner direct by politicians with all the political parties whether they are ruling or not for example amar singh who is broker for India. He can do anything if you pay the money as per his requirements. Like that almost all the parties are there. Shukla [vice president of BCCI] in congress who also equally like to amar singh. He will also do many wonders if you may the money as per his need. This is our country . After all we are quoting ‘Incredible india’ Another way of corruption through police department in state and central government with the help of bureaucracy. Both are blaming each other but ultimately suffer is public. Every day poor people and middle class people are suffering but we are not able to solve the public grievance for a long time. Finally our politicians blame system failure or executives [bureaucrat] are not implementing properly.

Punishment for crime and corruption are not hard here. Criminals escape easily by our weak laws. No one(politician) have public sense. Nowdays every politician have strong buisness in background. Using their authority, they increase their wealth thru benomy.

Only his works r appreciated and his ideas r also appreciated but not accepted and hence, he can not be crawned as the father of nation..he can't take the place of Gandhiji..he is still the father of our nation.
