Question

.I A) Read the extract carefully and do the activities :- (6)

Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, the father of India’s integrated guided missile program,

states three visions for India based on the achievements and progress that he has

witnessed in the history of the nation and during his own career, as a missile Scientist.

Dr Kalam’s three visions for India are FREEDOM, DEVELOPMENT, and STANDING UP. The

focus of his presentation is on developing India to its fullest potential, while standing up

to the rest of the world with fully validated self-respect for the achievements that have

been obtained in the modern times. If we are not free, no one will respect us.

I have three visions for India. In 3,000 years of our history, people from all over

the world have come and invaded us, captured our land and conquered our minds.

From Alexander onwards the Greeks, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch

- all of them cameand looted us and took over what was ours. Yet we have not done this

to any other nation. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land,

their culture and their history, nor tried to force our way of life on them. Why? Because

we respect the freedom of others.

That is why my first vision for India is FREEDOM.
