Explanation:
Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was born on 15 October 1931 to a Tamil Muslim family in the pilgrimage centre of Rameswaram on Pamban Island, then in the Madras Presidency and now in the State of Tamil Nadu. His father Jainulabdeen was a boat owner and imam of a local mosque; his mother Ashiamma was a housewife.
Abdul WAS born into a middle-class Tamil family in theisland town of Rameswaram in the erstwhile MadrasState. His father, Jainulabdeen, had neither muchformal education nor much wealth;despite thesedisadvantages, he possessed great innate wisdomand a true generosity of spirit. He had an idealhelpmate in my mother, Ashiamma. I do not recallthe exact number of people she fed every day, but he was quite certain that far more outsiders ate with them than all the members of thier own familyput together.He was one of many children — a short boy withrather undistinguished looks, born to tall andhandsome parents. We lived in our ancestral house,which was built in the middle of the nineteenthcentury. It was a fairly large pucca house, made oflimestone and brick, on the Mosque Street inRameswaram. His austere father used to avoid allinessential comforts and luxuries. However, allnecessities were provided for, in terms of food,medicine or clothes. In fact his childhood was very secure , both materially and emotionally.with some inheritedcharacteristics, into a specific socio-economic andemotional environment, and trained in certain wasby figures of authority. He inherited honesty and self discipline from his father; from my mother, he
inherited faith in goodness and deep kindness andso did his three brothers and sister.
