Letter to the Editor

People's President

Ramesh G Jethwani
This refers to the editorial, “One great President and Indian citizen” (July 29). The demise of Abdul Kalam is indeed painful and marks an end of an era. Kalam will always be remembered as a person with great spiritual values, who had a scientific approach towards life. His contributions towards the development of rocket technology cannot be forgotten. 
It will be more appropriate to call him the people’s President who was a rare combination of Science, education and morality. Kalam has left behind a great and ever lasting legacy which will be a source of inspiration for generations to come, he was a truly karma yogi.
