I think we should thank God that people like DrKalam are there in India who are genuinely trying to Solve Indias problems.If Dr Kalam is reading these messages We like to thank him for whatever he has done and is doing for this country

Stop Idol worship.

Dr. Kalam brings out the areas that India needs to focus upon to develop as a nation.

And many people on this forum and around the country agree and respect the man.

Great!!!

But what next?

What did we do when we was not chosen for a second term?

If we like the man so much, why are we not electing individuals like him to run our governments?

We Indians are good at one thing and one thing only...That is LIP SERVICE a.k.a. BS.

If we truly respect this man, lets try to be like him.

No one individual will make our country great, but efforts by individuals (All Indians) will move this nation in the right direction.

Treating Dr.Kalam as an idol that is worshipped is what this nation does not need. We need to use Dr. Kalam as an example for ourselves our children if we have any desire to make this country great and make it prosperous.

Hope we all can make a difference and contribute.

What has idol worship got to do with India's poverty and progress?

I am not refering to idol worship as people worshipping Lord Ram or any other Hindu Gods. it is their religiona nd they must do that.

I am refering to the idol worshipping of politicians and political parties.

Ah ok. Agree we shouldn't 'worship' personalities.

Dr. Kalam had his tenure of 5 years, it is not like he never got a chance to be president. IMO it is fair that he was not elected for the 2nd term; perhaps the notion of second term should probably be abolished for all big political posts including that of PM and CM. This so new ideas come up and people do not get complacent in there posts.
