ya they must also be knowing Gandhi,Nehru,Subhash Candra Bose,Birla ,Tata,Ambanis.Are they not good enough to be recognised?But the thing is that we never show these feelings.You have few names and just keep uttering them again and again.There is a lot longer list of people we have who have made India proud.We respect every Indian who has done that even if he or ashe is from south.Dr Kalam is a role model for everyone in India.Dont show your claim on him.
