What helped Dr
Kalam fix the three
visions for India?
Answers
Answer:
Dr. Abdul Kalaam known for his love for the student community, delivered this speech at Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, where he outlined his visions for India.
In 3000 years of our history, people from all over the world have come and invaded us, captured our lands, conquered our minds. From Alexander onwards, the Greeks, the Turks, the Moguls, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us, 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, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. Why? Because we respect the freedom of others.
That is why my first vision is that of FREEDOM.
I believe that India got its first vision of this in 1857, when we started the war of Independence. It is this freedom that we must protect and nurture and build on. If we are not free, no one will respect us.
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.
