Political Views

His book "India 2020" strongly advocates an action plan to develop India into a knowledge superpower and into a developed nation by the year 2020.

Kalam is credited with the view that India ought to take a more assertive stance in international relations.

he regards his work on India's nuclear weapons program as a way to assert India's place as a future superpower.

Kalam's belief in the power of technology to resolve society's problems and his views of these problems as a result of inefficient distribution of resources is modernistic.

He also sees science and technology as ideology-free areas and emphasizes the cultivation of scientific temper and entrepreneurial drive.

In this, he finds a lot of support among India's new business leaders like the founders of Infosys and Wipro, who began their careers as technology professionals much in the same way Kalam did.

Inspiring thoughts by Dr Kalam:

"Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life.”

"Thinking is progress. Non-thinking is stagnation of the individual, organisation and the country. Thinking leads to action. Knowledge without action is useless and irrelevant. Knowledge with action, converts adversity into prosperity."

"When you speak, speak the truth; perform when you promise; discharge your trust.... Withhold your hands from striking, and from taking that which is unlawful and bad..."

"What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of a human being, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful and to remove the wrongs of injured...“ "All God's creatures are His family; and he is the most beloved of God who tries to do most good to God's creatures."

“Dream, dream and dream…

and convert these into

thoughts and later into actions."

Quotes:

“Dream is not what you see in sleep…

it is the thing which doesn’t let you sleep”
