Dear George, Well how many people know Prathiba Patil before this dillema !!!..so how you can assume she is people's rep...but many of them definitely knew Mr.APJ Kalam even before he was a President. He is not just a scientist, in his term he has represented india in a big level and people in other countries were really fascinated about the knowledge and culture he carried with him. This no president has done so far...thanks
