Question

Read the following extract and do the following activities: - (10 Marks) In 1960, when Dr. Kalam joined ISRO, it was just a fledgling organization. His interactions with the great scientist Professor Vikarm Sarabhai and the Reverend Peter Bernard Pereira, shaped his thoughts on religion. It was here that he learnt about the true meaning of religious service. Professor Sarabhai and his team had selected a site in Thumba, Kerala, to set up their space research facility. It was an ideal site due to its proximity to the magnetic equator. But there was a major roadblock in getting possession of the site as it was the fishing grounds of Thumba’s fishermen. Moreover, it had an old church of St Mary Magdalene, a bishop’s house and a school, which was under the administration of the church. Government officials predicted that it would be impossible to relocate so many people from the site and destroy religious institutions for the sake of a space research center. But upon Dr. Sarabhai’s persistence, it was suggested that they approach the only person who could help them in this situation – Father Pereira, the then bishop of the region. Dr. Sarabhai and Dr. Kalam approached Father Pereira on a Saturday evening. The Reverend said, ‘Oh Vikram, you are asking me for my children’s abode, for my abode, and for God’s abode. How is it possible?’ Father Pereira then invited the party to visit the church on a Sunday morning. Dr. Sarabhai, his team, and the forever- inquisitive disciple, Dr. Kalam, took up the offer.
