Mr Shiekh People have absolutely no doubt about the credentials of our president. The problem is that our good leaders, at some time of their tenure need to take very bold decisions. But people who are intellectuals at heart like Dr.Kalam or Dr.Singh may not be capable of taking it. That is the argument. We have the biggest example in our country of such a person right ? Gandhiji helped us with his ideals of satyagraha and non-cooperation movement to get independence. However when communal violence in support of partition started he couldnt take it anymore. Which led to him nod at the proposal to partition the country based on religious differences. The fact remains that all of us are human beings and we have our strengths and weaknesses. We expect our leaders to be strong and with a lot of integrity. "If it gotta be done it gotta be done" . I have met Dr.Kalam and have idolised him since my early engineering days. He is a saint at heart and thats what is scary when such people enter Indian politics.
