Kalam was no great man: Don't let news of death confuse you

However, i do not agree with your post, that anyone stating facts or talking against Indians/India is a western paid person. Good lord you didn't blame ISI.
There's proof that these protests are not indigenous. Even if they had fears of unsafe nuclear reactors, they wouldn't have bothered and carried on with life as if nothing is happening. Indian populace minds it's own business. They don't get involved in social activism unless there's some 'power' driving them.
 
indians are pettiful creatures - the guy is not in his grave yet- but this indian thought its the best time to malign him- fcuktards-

Do you want me to reply in kind? Not only is this an absurd generalisation absurd, but also a very dumb attempt at veiling your hate and tendency to simply abuse. You should know that generalising in this manner would leave you way way below the fcuktards.

I believe the article was written in poor taste given the timing of it, but as usual Indians lose their mind. This shows their rigid mentality.

Anyone talking against India us not biased, but if you had even done a tiny bit of research on the topic then you would know the Kudamkulam protests were downright stupid and lobbied. LMAO.. Nuclear danger based on Fukushima it seems. Do you know about how the scientific community has responded to calls by jackasses dressed as activists to shut down nuclear plants???
 
Just turned 13 this July.
Happy Birthday :partay:

Listen Batman, for one Indian who wrote this nonsense, there are a hundred who find it offensive. We have our " fcuktards" in India too just like in your country.:p:
 
There is no harm in the OP posting this article. He didn't write it.

Yeah just like your AQ khan is.
So assuming now he is a pakistani.
So that means whole pakistanis are sh1tholes which can't even make a bike engine yet they point out to others.
The failed sate.

Guyzz no need to react.
I think this is only article which criticises kalam from india.
so no need to worry about 1 person in 1.25 billion people.

As is usual when public personalities die, there is much outpouring of tributes after the passing of APJ Abdul Kalam. Newspaper headlines have described him as the "people's president" and "missile man". That a Muslim aerospace scientist fuelled the Hindu majoritarian state's quest for missiles and nuclear weapons obviously went down well with the nationalist crowd. Uncritical media attention and eulogising naturally followed.

Most accounts gloss over the fact that he got elected as president in July 2002 with the full backing of not only the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government but the Sangh Parivar as a whole plus the opposition Congress following his near complete silence over the anti-Muslim pogrom in Gujarat earlier that year.

Last year Kalam visited the Nagpur headquarters of the RSS and paidtributes to its founder KB Hedgewar. Shashi Tharoor has describedhim as a "Muslim steeped in Hindu culture" who listened to "Carnatic devotional music every day". In other words, Kalam tried to out-mama the Mylapore mama, that quintessential Brahmin attending Tala-vadya-kaccheris in the Brahmin Bhadralok that is Mylapore in Chennai.

Earlier, he rose through the ranks of the Indian scientific establishment with his firm backing for hawkish causes such as nuclear weaponisation and missile development. There was a time when India held the high moral ground as a leading non-aligned country calling for nuclear disarmament. That went out the window when it carried out a nuclear test in 1974 during Indira Gandhi's prime ministership and again in 1998 under Vajpayee. While in 1974 Indian officials came up with the bizarre term "peaceful nuclear explosion", the gloves were off by the 1990s. Kalam was by then scientific adviser to the PM and head of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). No wonder he was adopted as a darling of the Hindutva right. He had already been conferred the Bharat Ratna in 1997.

Kalam gave a clean chit to the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu despite a massive popular agitation against it and even after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. A number of scholars and activists including Achin Vanaik, SP Udayakumar, Arundhati Roy, Kumar Sundaram and the recently deceased Praful Bidwai have been warning against the dangers stemming from nuclear plants, pointing out that countries such as Germany are phasing out nuclear power and turning successfully to renewable sources of energy.

The Narendra Modi government's highly questionable plan for the linking of river waters too won high praise from Kalam, who had first proposed it in 2002. Parineeta Dandekar of the South Asia Network of Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP), Ashish Kothari of the environmental activist group Kalpavriksh and others have shown why this is a daft idea. Quite apart from the ecological cost in terms of harmful effects on biodiversity, the project carries a massive human cost as well: it would entail the displacement of vast numbers of people, especially Adivasis inhabiting forested lands. Kalam was also a vocal supporter of the Vedanta aluminium project in Odisha, despite opposition to it from NGOs which point to the threat to the lives of the Dongria Kondh Adivasi people in the Niyamgiri area as well as the impact on wildlife.

Earlier this month, Kalam called for abolition of the death penalty, saying there was a "social and economic bias" in its application. He ought to have applied his mind in the case of Dhananjoy Chatterjee who was hanged during his presidency in 2004. Chatterjee was an impoverished watchman in a building where 18-year-old named Hetal Parekh was found dead in 1990. The watchman was convicted of rape and murder but a new analysis by two scholars with the Indian Statistical Institute that was released in time for the Law Commission's hearing on the death penalty on July 11 and released by the People's Union for Democratic Rights casts serious doubts over his guilt. The scholars, Debashish Sengupta and Prabal Chaudhury say "facts" were created to frame Chatterjee. From the trial courts upwards, including in the Supreme Court and President Kalam's office, no attention was paid to the shoddy investigation that had been carried out. Witnesses and recovered articles said to belong to Chatterjee or stolen by him were never subject to counter-examination. Ditto forensic evidence. The scholars allege police complicity in concocting circumstancial evidence, adding that the family's reasons for blaming Chatterjee were not examined.

If Kalam had any opinion on the hanging of the Kashmiri, Afzal Guru, he kept it to himself. The Supreme Court handed Guru - about whose unfair trial entire books have been written by the likes of Arundhati Roy and philosophy professor Nirmalangshu Mukherji - the death sentence noting it was necessary to satisfy the "collective conscience" of the society. Kalam was equally silent on the moves to hang Yakub Memon.

It is for these reasons that the current excessive eulogising of Kalam comes across as a tad obscene.

Since when did enjoying carnatic music or devotional music made one strictly religious? Dr. K.J Yesudas is a Christian, but his songs makes bulk of Hindu devotional music in malayalam. Also,he sung some of the most popular muslim 'mappilapattus' too. AR Rahman,Yousul Ali Kecheri are some of the popular examples that comes to my mind

About Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant, sane minded men of science will support the plant. Kalam supporting the plant is no wonder.

Heck, any damn thing will have people supporting and opposing it, whats the big deal?

What truely earned Kalam the respect & love he enjoys among Indians?

Was it him making the missiles?---No!

Was it his contribution to space tech?-No!

Was it him being the President?-No!

The root cause was that he was a humble person,down to earth, he came down to the level of the ordinary people, inspired us and taught us to dream. Everything else, him making missiles,space tech, being the president all were mere icings in the cake.

No matter how many dogs bark, he will always have a great place in the hearts of millions and millions.
 
well a Muslim man in Majority Hindu country India well he is the hero of India for nuke and missiles

You have got it wrong.

We would have made the nukes & missiles even without him.

We would never have found such a human being with higher intellect and simplicity.

The only regret being that he did not get a second term, he did not even contest.

I can share whatever i want on PDF. Do you have a problem?

.....or the bullshyt media propaganda that is funded by Government...
 
When a billion people mourn the loss of one man, then the status of that single individual speaks for itself.

That's 1/7 the of the world mourning for one Individual - Dr . Abdul Kalam. I doubt that there is/was a single person who ever had this distinction.

Kalam's status is like sun light. His fame and popularity will keep on shining . If some decide to close their eyes and remain blind- the sun isnot gonna stop shining
 
WTF, mocking a person who is not alive.. such a shame on this author... Kalam is exceptional Soul, We all feel proud of his achievements... None of us seen him as Muslim, rather great person.... That idiot author need to stop this self scoring... He started his career from zero become Hero to 1.2 Billion people...
 
Attention seeking petty journalist...It is a good time to submit this kind of article so that at least people will see his sh**
face once in his life time..
