(3)=fellow traveller identifies a person who is intellectually sympathetic to the ideology of a political organization, and who co-operates in the organization's politics, without being a formal member of that organization.[1] In the early history of the Soviet Union, the Bolshevik revolutionary Trotsky coined the term poputchik ('one who travels the same path') to identify the vacillating intellectual supporters of the Bolshevik government. It was the political characterisation of the Russian intelligentsiya (writers, academics, and artists) who were philosophically sympathetic to the political, social, and economic goals of the Russian Revolution of 1917, but who chose to not join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The usage of the term poputchik disappeared from political discourse in the Soviet Union during the Stalinist régime, but the Western world adopted the English term fellow traveller to identify people who sympathised with the Soviets and with Communism.
(4)=Bacon is of great importance in the history of English Essay. His essays have become the classic of English language. They owe this position not due to their subject matter but for their unique style and fine literary taste. Bacon can rightly be called the father of English essay.
Bacon borrowed the general conception of his essays from the French writer and philosopher Montaigne. It is said that if Montaigne gave birth to essays in French, Bacon took the responsibility of maturing this newborn baby in English. His essays "are the grains of salt which will rather give an appetite than offend with society." The credit of being the first English essayist goes to Bacon. He lived in a time and country where life was full of vigour and seriousness. In comparison with Montaigne's thousands of words, Bacon's essays consist of few words. According to Hudson.
(5)=Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was born on 15th October, 1931. Dr. Kalam as a scientist and engineer was involved with many important projects of Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
