Question: Dear President, Do you agree with me that education plays vital role in removing education and moving India ahead of all other countries? Then why atleast minimum education is also not reaching to all the children in our country? Is there any solution to restriuct the BUSINESS of education as you are aware that education is being SOLD like any other commodity!!! Are our politicians really intend for social service? Looking at the child labour rate, dont we feel that we are fooling ourselves and creating much worsening future for our younger generations? As a president, would like to hear from you the true action on this. Warm Regards, Sreedhar.T

Question: Dear President Saheb Ji, I am a student in Holland, doing a course titled: European Masters in Clinical Linguistics. I have a special place of regard and reverence for you not only because you are a scholar and a scientist but also because you awarded me with the Ph.D. degree at the convocation of Delhi University in 2002. I am writing to you, as you are the only person I know of who has the patriotic zeal and fire to put India on the world map in the field of Research and Sciences. I am a person who is really, though in a miniscule fraction of your dream, is capable of doing so. I find my hands tied in the web of rigid rules and lack of vision of the academic and research establishment in general in India. I have a deep interest in the field of Neurolinguistics and that is incidentally the subject for which you awarded me with a Ph.D. It is an interdisciplinary field belonging to the cognitive sciences, in which the West is making progress by leaps and bounds during the last two centuries since the works of Broca and Wernicke. It is notable that Indians working in Foreign countries have made their own significant contributions. India in general has a lot to offer not only because of its talent but also in terms of its languages whose structure is different from many of the European countrys’ languages. The field has practical uses in clinical practice of Neurology, Speech Pathology, Rehabilitation of people suffering from afflictions like Aphasia (who number in lacs) and also in understanding of language and Brain [and their interrelationships] in general-it is an integral part of brain research. For working on Neurolinguistics one ideally requires to combine knowledge of Linguistics and needs to cooperate with clinicians (Neurologists, Speech Pathologists, Clinical Psychologists); and needs an access to brain scanning equipment like f MRI, MRI and CT scan. This is possible in the institutions, which abound in and around Delhi e.g. major hospitals like the AIIMS. I worked as a Lecturer in Delhi and left India with two offers of Associate Professorship in hand [but no opportunity to work in the field of Neurolinguistics][and of course I am NET qualified]- I foresee that typically I would end up seeking jobs in the West, after completion of my present course in Clinical Linguistics– until and unless something in India happens like starting up of a new [urgently needed] teaching or research programme in Neurolinguistics / Clinincal Linguistics and I get an opportunity of Research and teaching there. I know you are the right person to approach, with the right vision for India. Thank you. With regards, PRASANNANSHU P.S.-My age is 39 years-the option was not provided in the form.

I want to work only in India and help you to achieve your dream of making India a developed country.

Question: Anthim Sathya Prabodhan Sanstha, Kolhapur ( Institute of Research of Eternal Truth & Education ) 14/11/2005. To, H. E. Shri. A. P. J. Abdul Kalaam, President of India Respected Sir, Today in the beginning of this third millennium, especially in the last fifty years due to the tremendous advancement in the field of Science, we have been able to progress materialistically. Unfortunately no such progress is seen at the Ethical front, on the contrary it is progressing negatively. Under these circumstances, we look at your highness as a source to guide us being a preaching Gandhian and a great Indian Spiritual Thinker. In today’s education there is mere Information and Knowledge is missing in it. We want our Country to be at the fore front in establishing a strong base to Value Education in the world. As an initial step we are coming out with a book titled “What Precisely is Meant by ‘Knowledge’ & ‘Information’?. We have established an Institute ‘Anthim Sathya Prabodhan Sanstha’ ( Institute of Research of Eternal Truth & Education’) at Kolhapur – Maharashtra. Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil is the Founder Chairman of our Institute. It is our sincere effort to establish a strong, secular and rational base to inculcate Values in Education. The architect of Indian Constitution Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in his inaugural address to the parliament had very clearly stated that, the success of this Constitution or any other constitution of any country will solely depend upon the virtues of every individual involved in the process of implementing it at any point of time. The aim of our Institute is to play a pivotal role to build a society of Virtuous people. Today our country needs the guidance of great people like your highness. Mahatma Gandhi is not amongst us today. The independence we have today is with the condition to abide by the law, but at the same time we also have the independence not to follow the Ethical Principles. This is leading to a chaotic society with consumerism and mere material progress. With this above brief introduction of our Institute, we request your highness to spare a few minutes out of your most valuable time and have some preliminary discussions with me as I am in Delhi till tomorrow. This will give us an opportunity to express ourselves in person. Thanking you for your patient reading, For Anthim Sathya Prabodhan Sanstha, Kolhapur K.Venkatesh. ( Mob : 094337 20161) N.B (Dr. D. Y.

If i explain my question, I was 4000 odd rank in merit in my state after 12th Std Science Stream. But the new merit list after the reservation quota made my rank 7000 and due to that I was not able to get admission in my choice of college in my town, which I would have got in my original rank. Is it fair for me to think that I was not robbed of a good opportunity in my career just because of my reservation criteria? Regards, ~Nihar Shah Gujarat

Question: Dearest Kalam, I would like to introduce myself as a student who has come to Australia to do my Masters Degree. My humble view of what education should do is: Education makes one open-minded and opens up the reasoning power to new ideas and thoughts. In a nutshell, I feel that good education provides reasoning power of why (A+B)^2 = A^2 + B^2 + 2A*B rather than knowing only the formula. My question to you is: Even though, India is making rapid strides in Education and Technology, One is always lured to abroad education because of its ability to provide reasoning power, versatileness, International Accreditation, etc..etc. I don’t blame Indian universities. I am a person who believes that Indian Education providers are in no way inferior and our IIT’s and IIM’s are equally good as Stanford or Oxford universities.. My focus is basically on the Universities, which just provide bookish knowledge encouraging just memorising. (Basically where the average students or middle class fall into.) I do not wish to mention the names but I assure you that the list is quite big. This practise of memorising starts from school days where one is forced to switch to state board from CBSE, just for the sake of gaining admission into better universities. I know that this issue is not going to be solved in a day or two. The objective is not globalising our education pattern but to rather continuously monitor the standards of each university on a regular basis and encourage universities to have innovative and creative methods of teaching. What are your thoughts on our education system (Exclude IIT's and IIM's, My question focuses only on the regular universities and state-board schools)? How can we contribute to the upgrade of syllabus standards and promote innovative teaching methods which promote creativity, Rather than memorization or mugging practises? What have we learnt from the west? How many people from the US (Citizens) come to India for a PG or a Bachelors degree? Is this ratio equal to the number going from India(Citizens) to the US? If not why is it so? My intention in these questions are due to the best interests I have for my dear india and not to actually criticise any organization. Do let me know about your opinion. With love, Arvind Ravi

Question: I think main problem in India is corruption and there are somany political parties, so if one party oppose then another party gives support there fore we can never stop corruption as the basic system is corrupted so i want to ask to the president whether you canot put Military rule in India for some 5 to 10 years so that no party people can do any corrpution and then remove all the corrupted officers from the base without any mercy and then rebuild new every thing new with only one rule and who ever oppose the rules just punsih them severly without any mercy then we can really dream of a developed and peacefull India which is mydream.When i see other country and our India, only difference why Indians when go to other country follow there rules in other country but not in India is mainly because in other countires the rules are strict and if you donot obay then they will punish but that is not the case in India we have more freedom to do any thing so the people expect Governement to clean the shit done by there Dog. I donot know when i can see Such a wonderful India where no irresponisble citizens are there and these useless political parties stop corruption and think about India.At last i want to ask only one thing to Respected president can you put military rule in India for atleast 5 years sending all these political parties to home.Just ban all these political parties.Please help me to rebuild India from the Base.

Question: Honourable Sir, I am currently studying at IIM-CaLcutta. I did my engineering from a state government run college. I take great pride in the fact that this institution accepts students solely on the basis of merit. Set up by one of the greatest engineers that India has ever produced, Sir.M.Visveswaraiah,it also has the proud distinction of being the alma-mater of some of the most successful people at Silicon Valley. But , over the years, there has been a perceivable decline in its standing vis-a- vis other engineering colleges in the state, in terms of exposure, opportunities, technical infrastructure and to some extent the quality of education.I am sure this is not an isolated case, but is noticeable across many other such institutions. In my opinion, we owe it to the great minds who set up such institutions to take their dreams and visions forward. I also feel that the solution process should not end with the allocation of funds. There should be assistance provided in terms of planning out the management of these funds over a period of time, with definite pre-defined targets to achieve. There should be a task force or a committee endowed with sufficient powers to implement this process across such institutions. Do you think it is possible to reinstate these institutions back to top positions which they rightly deserve?

Question: Hello Mr.President, I am very gald to post my questions and hopefully expecting the answers from you. 1)Will India ever become a completly developed & super power nation like the USA? if so, when? 2)How far can you assure that we can eradicate corruption in Indian politics? 3)Will all the MP's sign to change the rules & rights in our consitution of India to make our country an improved nation in all the aspects. 4)Why can't we reduce the age limit for the politicians to 70yrs after which they should resign under any circustances? because, most of the poticians at high level like the prime minister Mr.Manmohan Singh are not active enough for their work. All the other countries like US,Britain,France have very brisk and active leaders for their post to take correct decisions at right time. 5)Country like UAE had no taxation laws.why can't we adopt those rules which they have. OR atleast reduce the tax which is very high burden on every citizen of India. 6)Why dont the Finance Minister pass a new law so that those who pay sum amount of money,can make their property as "white" and the Govt can get good revenues. 8)Can India get back the entire Kashmir, if so, how? i.e.,including PoK. I dont want to raise any questions furthur and take much of your time. Its very pleasing for me to send few of my unanswered questions. expecting for your positive answers. Thank You.

Question: Dear President, I am pursuing PhD in Chemistry at University of Manchester, U.K. Generally if a policy/politician is bad, its ill-effects can be felt within 5 years. But if a Teacher is bad or not at their best, it's ill-effect can be felt only after 20 years i.e. a generation of students will become weak. Therefore we need more devoted teachers. Some teachers are less enthusiastic about their job, because their salary may not be enough for them and they look for other sources of income to improve upon their standard of life,thereby losing interest in their noble/nobel profession. To avoid this we can raise the minimum salary of the teachers to Rs.10,000 or 15,000. Then their progress should be monitored/reviewed every year and less efficient teachers should be kicked out of their job at any point of time strictly. I feel only teachers can mould a student and therby our country. Kindly comment on this and i would like you to take strong measures to improve the education system as there is a huge gap between the quality of teaching in private and government schools and between rural and urban students. I also have queries regarding state of research in Universities/Research Institutions and the ways to improve it. I would like to address that to you separately. So i kindly request you to provide your email address and i wish to contact you directly. Sir, I have tremendous faith in you and i will be more happy if you can take strong measures in education field. I don't expect you to answer this query within 45 min in rediff online chat. But kindly do answer whenever it's convinient for you. Thank you very much for reading this patiently.

I really doubt if the common man in out country feels that great...using someone else's technology...I researched a bit on the number of companies that are involved in the area of Aircraft manufacturing...world wide...I provide here a list of few countries... United States- 749 Germany - 90 Russia - 78 Italy - 68 South Africa - 24 Czech Republic - 19 Argentina - 19 Brazil - 17 India - 6 Egypt - 5 Mexico - 4 *Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_manufacturers Considering the numbers here...I see that we have to do a lot in this area...so that Indian money remains in India and be used to create jobs in India by collaborations between Indian Industry and Indian Universities... and please forgive my innocence if I am wrong...I dont see any "serious" threat as of now from any one...as, I dont think any country would even think of attacking a country that has nuclear warhead capabilities... so, instead of buying fighter planes from some foreign companies, can those funds be not used to build the planes in India? It may take some time...but I believe the long term benefits should be considered(???) Mr. President Sir, what do you, as a "supreme commander of armed forces" would suggest our Government in this regard? and what do you as a Scientist (and Educationist) think that our Govermnet should do in this regard?... Thank you and Happy Children's Day...

Question: Greetings and warmest regards from Madan to the first son of Bharath matha. Sir, one of the serious problems contending us is that of religious disharmony and communal tensions. Such violence and disharmony is totaly against India's spirit of inclusiveness,and of "sarva dharma sambav". I believe that the major cause of this problem is because for long we have ignored the role of religion in nation building. Don't you think that it is time that we have religious debates at the national level ? Won't it be great if respected members of each community - the Dalai lamas, the Shankaracharyas, the APJ Kalams and the Paul Dinakars, all gather under one tent and discuss about the "oneness" of all religions and the outstanding contributions that India has rendered over centuries to promote religious pluralism. How inspiring will it be for young minds !! How much will this go on to promote and nurture religious harmony !! It will be my privildge to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks for the opprtunity. Jai Hind, Madan

Question: sir before asking you my question i would like to express my happiness for the nation which is been governed by an economist and a scientist which is going to take us a roller coaster ride to the top of the world. my question sir: we have the most prestigious institutions in india namely iit's and the iim's.. which intakes the cream of people in india and teach them.. but except a few people all others migrate to US and other countries in "exchange of their brain for money" but i do agree money is essential and important but why dont they remain here and earn it?? all they say is we dont have the infrastructure like foriegn companies and the pay packet is not fat.. but im not convinced with whatever they say.. if they feel that we lag in infrastructure i just cant accept it.. with these infrastructure only they were able to gain all those fat salaries.. if all of them return then we will be the super power but unfortunatly that has not happened so far.. for instance if we take the guyz from iim's they r management guys they themselves can set up a business unit.. why do they want to work for other countries??? overall i feel our nation has set up some classy institutes for technology and management as well but the best brains use it for their own purpose and leave out our country.. on the whole the main vision of the institute is to produce best engineers and managers to take the country to heights but they are taking americans and others to new heights and we still remain as a developing country.. i feel sad for it sir.. but all these can change one day.. and by one man.. its you sir.. if you can give a solution to me as well to this nation .. then im 1000% confident that your dream about india 2020 will come true sir.. give a solution for this sir.. how can we stop this "money for brain" concept sir. always yours, (your wings of fire).

Question: Honourable Rashtrapatiji, At 37 years of age I can hardly call myself a ‘student’ but I did not want to miss this opportunity of being able to communicate with you if you so permit. Before I pose my TWO questions to you I would just like to say that even as a child I had always believed that a turn around in the fortunes of India as a nation was sure to come; but as a child obviously it had more to do with my fancy and an innate willingness to see India doing well rather than any understanding of what makes a country move. But now with atleast a limited understanding of such affairs, I feel all the more convinced about a bright future for our great country. However, there is something, which bothers me about our society and my questions are concerning that. I have been fortunate to have lived in France for about 9 months and hence get a first hand insight into their society and to a limited extent, into the societies of their neighbouring countries. The most notable features that have struck me are: firstly, there appears to be no formalised social system in place in our country, which tries to bind people with a common identity of being INDIANS irrespective of their differences of language, culture, religion etc. and secondly, there is no provision of inculcating social courtesies or social discipline in the masses. It is only the teachings of our forefathers, which have been carried forward by word of mouth with in the families or sometimes in schools, which serve to provide the necessary inspiration. There does not appear to be any effort by the government to ‘formalise’ a system or a programme whose goal is to strengthen the spirit of being an Indian or to build a stronger social bond. One only hears such rhetoric on the occasions of Independence Day or the Republic Day but nothing else. I realise that political stability at the national and at state levels is one important pre-requisite for such programmes to be conceived and launched by the governments. I also realise that a lot of things get automatically sorted out once the state of the economy and well-being of the people improves and that despite the recent upswing, there is still a long way to go before the masses can begin to reap the dividends of a performing economy. But here are finally my questions -------- First, IS THERE A PLAN TO LAUNCH ANY PROGRAMME IN THE COUNTRY WHICH AIMS TO BUILD THE SPIRIT OF NATIONALISM IN THE CITIZENS ? And secondly, ANY ATTEMPT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO INTRODUCE MEANINGFUL SOCIAL EDUCATION WHICH WOULD EDUCATE PEOPLE IN RESPONSIBLE AND COURTEOUS SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR ? I thank you most humbly for sparing your valuable time in reading such a lengthy letter.

In past, we had people like Tilak, Sardar Patel, Morarji Desai who could serve as Role Models for aspiring politians. But, unfortunately, keeping in view the present scenario of Indian Politics, I feel that there is hardly anyone who can serve as Role Model. Sir, don't YOU feel that Capable, educated youth of India should be inspired to join Politics and try to remove the dirt in politics, thereby ushering in a new era, so that our future generations may consider Politics as their career options?

Question: Respected Sir, Wishing you a very happy Children’s day to you & to all the children of our country You might have received hundreds of thousands of e-mails or questions. I know my this message reaching you either will take time or there might be some corruption in between to send those e-mails from such authorities, who are corrupted to insert their wards or relatives e-mails to you. However I’ve confident that someone will read this information if not by you. I'm not asking any question to you, but may be the same or some of the things I wants to remind you, even though you know these. Our country is growing, but not developed yet. Though we have planned for to become a developed nation, but I doubt the plans are properly implementing. Some of the plans might be implementing as per your knowledge, however I have some concerns, such as how effective these plans are implemented and whether the task force if any are really following up and working seriously? The corruption, which is a major concern to all of us, is still going on every where. The politicians are the biggest worry to our nation, in particularly those who are uneducated, even though some or few are educated, but some of the educated behaves worse than illiterates, because of improper education. We should have proper leaders in each position right from class monitor to school teacher to village leader to minister to a position like yours. I request you to make such a rule, so that each leader before becoming should think twice to become leader or contest for any KIND of post right from childhood position to the leader of any age, any stage and any level. I strongly believed, education is the first step for eradicating any kind of disease, whether it is corruption, poverty, illiterate, terrorism, angriness, or any related health problems. Our Farmers are not paid properly even though some others enjoyed the full benefits of their hard earn corps. Our labours aren't properly paid, inspite of their hard work. Our police officers are still not paid properly I think so, as I can see they still use bamboo sticks, or the old guns/riffles to control the law and order of our country. Our soldiers are still using very old weapons. I think this has to be taken cared by you as a good president of our country. My brother used to talk all these things in our home and he used teach us, how we should work hard to survive in this difficult and clumsy world, where we face all kind of social problems, which are not taken care by our own society and our own leaders. Even he used to give example of air, land and other pollutions, which are seen everyday in our ways, in the road, in the play ground, in the bus or in any public places, including toilets. Why there are no such advertisements in any TV, Radio, or other Medias? I'm sorry if it is there, but I haven't seen any where. At least they should educate people, how to use public properties, in particularly not throwing tit-buts here and there, spitting here and there, improper use of public toilets, avoiding air all kind of pollutions. Even though we study in our school and colleges, but many of us never implemented this. Practical examples are very important to all the educated or uneducated people to know the importance of living in the society and living peacefully and happily forever. I have so many things to write, and if I write I feel like writing stories of all these problems and issues, some of these are still not covered here, even though the topics are not coming one after other and I'm mixing it everywhere. Sir, however my message to you is clear I guess so. Sorry if I wrote a very lengthy e-mail to you. Even though I'm never contacted, but if my message reached to you and it is implemented, I'll be more than happy.

My point is if one doesn't deserve the post of a proffesor why should he be given the post.. Just to fill the quota of a particular caste. A person with inadequate talent will be hindrance for the students.What the students can gain from him?

Question: The issue that I would like to raise with you is that the salary given out to the lectures is very low in comparison to the other professionals especially in the IT sector. As a result there is a dearth of talented people in this job. The aftermath of this is students suffer both in regular curriculum and those who are having a research inclination in the absence of proper guidance. As a result, most of our talent having a research inclination goes to USA and UK first to study and finally they settle down there. In this scenario won't it be appropriate that the pay package of lecturers is brought at par with other professionals.

Question: Respected Sir, Today Every citizen of India wants to ask certain important questions- · when we talk of India's Economic progress and economic boom nowadays, aren't we clearly seeing the emergence of a Bi-Polar economy? The cities are developing more and more and witnessing a Retail boom, among other things; Whereas the rural India is still starved and waiting with parched throats & disillusioned hopes for the basic necessities of life-atleast in a majority of cases. How can this Bi-Polarity be solved to led India emerge as a Developed Economy in every sense of the word at every level of society? · The Taxation system of India has been creating more problems than solutions. Why is it so complicated? Infact, when thought about it carefully; it actually serves a great purpose for the upper echeleons of the society to accumulate more black money; Whereas for the average Middle class worker, there is no scope to hide anything. Infact, this is how Corruption starts at the very grassroot level. Can anyone expect, say, a Police Constable to lead a decent life at a meagre salary of Rs. 3000 a month in a place like Mumbai? That too after a gruelling day at work for 12-13 continuous hours? The guy has got a family too,isn't it? And our Honourable Ministers continue to rake in the Moolahs like there is no tomorrow! They eat fodder worth thousands of crores of rupees and Not a single Finger points towards them! How long will this situation continue? · Taking this point further, I would also like to state that its no more a secret that our Administrative and Judicial machinery is reeling under the pressures of a system created by the British for their own convenience and Brutal Oppression of Indians. · Why are we still taking these anarchic laws forward? The Induction and training process of our Police and Administrative Officers; The Indian Penal code- were created by the British rulers to rule over us, Isn't it? Can we expect them to think for our good and retain them even after our Independence? We are still going by the same book of Laws which declared Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru and other such Great Freedom Fighters as TERRORISTS!!! We still abide by the same rules, what does this speak about our Independence and integrity? We still train our police officers in the same way the British used to, so that they could oppress any single hint of revolution against their Brutal Imperialism! Can we expect Our Independent India to trust our police officers after this training which trains them to Oppress and Torture??? Why can't we change this situation for once and for all? Thank You, Richa:)

Question: Respected Sir, For a successful Democracy, Effective and Timely Justice is of paramount importance! Why is it then so, that On one hand, we cherish our democratic ideals and On the other hand, we are subjected to a mockery show of our Judicial system every second day? There are innumerable laws; There are laws contradicting each other; there are laws to protect the Rich and Punish the Poor; There are the Rich and Famous of the society openly flouting all laws; There are politicians who are MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT even though there are dozens of cases including that of kidnapping, rape, scams etc. registered against them; There are so many poor people who are languishing in our Jails for as long as 10 years even though their crime is something as frivolous as Stealing 100 rupees!!! They are still waiting for a day when their cases will be heard in the Court of Law while Law continues to protect the Real Culprits who are in Power!!! Is anything being done for this aspect of our Democracy?

Secondly, When can we hope to introduce one education policy all over india,because different syllabus,different boards are not supposed to be treating all children equal.Further,if one education policy/examination pattern is there,evaluation of our capability will be same all over the India.that is there should be one school board all over the india.

Question: Why do we have reservations for the SCs and STs? As we see that today they also perform in the same manner as the cream of general category perform. So where is the difference? Also by providing reservations for them they are not being given a chance to develop rather to become more undeveloped.

Even if we give some land to Pakistan we can win the hearts of so many millions of people across the globe and we can proudly say that Pakistan is our sister country. Then why cant we forgive them for whatever they have done to us and start a new relationship?

Question: Sir, why don't you use your power to eradicate corruption if not completely then 50% at least? Also, I have an idea to curb the immense pollution in metros. On alternative days let there be vehicles having their numbers odd or even. For example: On a monday, let there be vehicles having their number odd and on a tuesday let there be vehicles with even numbers. On sundays let it be public transport day. This idea will be ver good in my idea and soon we will be far ahead of the first world countries. Only you have so much power so I earnestly request you to implement this with maybe a few changes.

Question: Dear Sir, Over the past few year, i feel politicians are using the reservation provided to the weaker section for their upliftment as political tool. Now reservation is provided purily for the votes rather than the need of that community, best example being AP, TN and Rajasthan government's decission to provide reservation to particular communities for electoral benefits. Though the reservation was envisioned in constitution for 10 years only but its ever increasing rather than being cut down, which is clearly an injustice to the poor and downtrodden of upper classes(so called well to do castes) So what do you feel about the relevance of continuation of reservation system even 55 years after inception of constitution? If still it needs to be continued, won't it be a good idea to continue it on an economic basis rather than caste/religion basis?

Question: Respected Sir, Once Gandhiji said we Indians have a tendency of adopting the evils of west and also feel in pride while doing so the same is seen in todays society as a reality at all it's level and classes. But it seems that it is only a part of our whole thinking process which generally moves on without a solid reasoning or ground to backup the thought. This further leads us to non-beliving in very essential segments/portions of the society. These may be politics or our responsibilties as a citizen. I would request you to pls. give me a guidline on how can I as an indiviual contribute and could motivate others to do so.

Question: White Shadows White Shadows I saw, The darkest I’ve ever seen. With a body light as air It’s tough to bear my head heavy as lead Lungs thinking life, brain breathing strife, The brethren make no efforts Float like balloons filled with brimstone’s holy smoke Dark seductive firmament, Star studded blanket, Lying supine, balloons emulate stars The highest and brightest of all Changes colors blue to black, black to white. I see a slick On the body of the shimmering angel It’s a beast trying to rip open the bovine body It aint no Hollywood flick Moribund drums, 86 strings, clamorous knell of the final bell Satan’s metal my skin hears and secretes fear. It was a brawl A cow and a beast The cow fights only to die. Lying beneath his skin, Wrenching his wrists, slamming his face hard on death’s iron feet, The beast devours senses and stings. Veins carrying styx, His body twitches beyond fix Trying hard to vomit the shit He pukes the last grains of strength left in his abdominal pit. Freezing feet, gnarled wrists, parched skin, the rotten stench of death The rivulet of life flowing right out of the retinal gorge. Deafening silence, blinding lights, It was a trip to hell. Trials to pull, trials to help, Only to have the beast spit out a pulp Eons it would take, with an iota of life, For the pulp to gain shape n live life. Too holy an ambrosia, too vapid a fodder, To animals with brains, Grass gives immortal death. White shadows I saw, The darkest I’ve ever seen. --Sri Charan R. Your excellency, I am Sri Charan R, an undergraduate student from Motialal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad. The poem above is a result of the trauma that I underwent after seeing the plight of a person who had a drug overdose. A trauma that gave gave my pen the necessary muse to write those words. As a responsible citizen of India, with all due respect to the Government of india, I feel the amount of attention that is given to the burning issue of illegal drug abuse, is but insignificant. On my way back home, I saw this young man on the floor of the Allahabad railway station attacked by a suden paroxysm. To an average passer-by he is just a patient of epilepsy. However the reality is that he had an overdose of Marijuana, a narcotic that is sold like candy here. The sight of the young man was heart wrenching. I would like to ask you if it is really possible to check the issue of narcotic trade to a meager intensity if not completely. Secondly I would like to state that in this age of electronic gadgets, internet and emails, the inventions of man can be not only beneficial, but also frankenstein. Spam mails from con artists aiming to lure innocent individuals to invest their hard earned savings in a chimerical business proposition can be potentially dangerous to Indians, who are known the world over as ardent lovers of the internet. It is a known fact how Mr. Piyush Kankaria of Kolkatta fell victim to this email fraud, infamous as '419' more than a year ago. He is the first officially registered victim. However I have a strong credence that there are many other such innocent indiviuals.Inspite of spam guards and things of the sort, I receive such spam mails frequently. I have got a 419 email from Nigeria a week ago. Determined to trap the crooks, I have kept in touch with the group of three Nigerians involved in this scandal, into which several others might have been baited. I have got all the necessary evidence and the phone numbers of the fraudsters, according to whom I shall send US$1300 to one Mr.Innocent Chime by tomorrow. They are awaiting my phone call. I am planning to call the SFOI, New Delhi. However, I wanted to bring this thing to your notice and ask you if there is anything immediate that we could do to trap the gangasters who deserve their just deserts for their misdeeds. Also I would like to request you to warn the youth of india against this menace. Your unrelenting efforts towards making india a better place to live have given me the inspiration to post these questions. Given a chance I have a plethora of queries to ask you. I thank you and the Team of Rediff that have given this wonderful oppurtunity to the citizens of india to express their views and misgivings. Jai Hind !!!!

But, I am not able see a solid plan to boost the agricultural sector. Many state governments are talking about the issue of subsidering electricity, which is a temperory problem and consuming large amount of enery. But i couldn't see a solid progress towards water management (Joining National Rivers). Upto my little knowledge self-sustainability is most important than before we send rockets to study about moon. i am very eager to know about, how can i make that happen.

My brothers in the villages and are still going through hardship there.I have gone to the worst schools and colleges.I never gave up hope and I am doing PhD in a good Korean University now. My brothers could not do that, many of them compromise with the situation and leave the battle. There are generatoins being spoiled due to lack of good education. Why can't we have a common education system throughout our country with the best education everyone can benefit from. With the inequality in education standards,I can only see a developed India in 2020 for urban Indians and rural India 50 years behind it.

Question: Respected Sir, Since my childhood, I wanted to devote my full life for the nation. But, it is painful to realize now that I am not going anywhere on my dreams. Carried away by my family's expectations and the social trend, I am now working as a cheap labour(Which,they say Software Engineer) for an MNC. I feel the deep pain, when I think on this now and can see completely that my dreams or heart is not here, where I am working. Also, I am realizing that MNC has flushed all my knowledge, making me incompetent for even for a Public Sector service. I have given deep thoughts to careers in Civil Services and Politics. I have been thinking about these careers since a long time. But,somehow it looks like that jobs in Civil Services means following orders of politicians, who(most of them) never give a thought to make this nation a Great place. And when I think of Politics, I just cannot find the way to get inside it and change the wrong things happening around all of us. I am feeling desparate to devote my life for nation,but not getting my way clear. I have been continuously reading the lives of those(including you) whom our nation is proud of. I hope some day, something will click on my mind and I will get the Way, I want to follow. It looks like, it will take time to understand what I can do for my nation. But, I just don't want to waste my time any more in my life. Sir, one thing is sure, I can do anything for my nation,if I get a chance. I try to do social work, I feel momentary happiness but I don't feel satisfied with that. I want to do more. I want to devote myself fully. I want to take part in your Vision 2020 and want to see this nation to get its old reputation back as the greatest Nation of the world. Sorry for writing so long, but I still wanted to say more. Could you please guide me in finding the way, by following which I should be able to follow my Dreams for My Nation. May you live Long !! - Nitin. One of Your millions of Admirers.

Question: Your Excellency, The President of India, As a citizen desirous of knowing how India can cope up with the energy crisis,I would like to ask two Qs in this context. 1)The sun has been described as a god visible to the mortal eyes.The sun's energy reaches almost every corner of the earth,but how can this energy be put to use efficiently and effectively by a common man living in the remotest of areas? When can this end be achieved in India and how? It is said that Archimedes had burnt invading ships by means of concave mirrors and solar energy.In a country like India where sunshine is plentiful, can progress be linked up with harnessing solar energy? (e.g. in mobile phones,cars,computers etc?) 2)The earth is quite hot from inside & internal movement of the hot matter might be largely contributing to earthquakes both on the ocean floor and on land.How can this geothermal energy be harnessed for human development? What is the present situation in this direction?

Question: Sir, Since, i was in my 12th i had a question in my mind. In one, discovery channel programme, i came to know that whenever a space shuttle or satellite is sent in space, a solid rocket booster is used for overcoming the gravitational pull of earth & dispatching the shuttle in outer space. Major thing i found in it is that it uses solid fuel i.e. if it is ignited once then it can't be stopped. So i'm thinking instead of so much tonnes of solid fuel can we use fusion reactor in it since it cannot be controlled either, when it is initiated. Although we require an initiation device for creating a very high temperature for fusion to take place. By fusion reactor we can save a lot of solid fuel and can achieve a very high thrust output. In fusion reaction a very small amount of hydrogen can produce a very very large amount energy which will be pollution free also. Sir i don't know much about technicalities regarding the same and that's why i'm mailing you this query. Because only you can answer over this more precisely. Requesting for a Reply!!! Thank You.

Question: Sir, India needs lots of energy in the coming decades to fulfill all of our dreams of a developed India. Where from will it be produced? We must consider reducing the pollution level as this costs us a lot indirectly. You personally recommend Nuclear energy: Is it cost effective compared to the large grid connected, commercially driven wind farms, and solar energy in remote locations? We the people, never get the true price of Nuclear electricity as this is always subsidised by the Govt. The question is: though we need nuclear fuel to some extent as a prority but, how much nuclear? Where to dump the nuclear waste and for how long? Are we not again becoming dependent on the foreign supply of the nuclear fuel and handovering the control of our supply chain to the American and the Europeans for our crucial future developments? Thank you sir.

Question: Dear President I am a first year B.Com. Computers Student. I would like to submit whetehr the most sought Chartered Accountants firm are all fair in their dealings with their clients. If yes, why all big firms globally and at national level involve in unfair unethical services. Is it the greed for money or the need to retain the bigger clients whose board is highly manipulative. what steps government is going to take to curb such unfair practices.Further, why the so called firms are not penalised by the Government of India, inspite of knowing all the frauds and misrepresentations conducted by such so called big firms. There is a idiom in auditing which says "Auditors should be watch dogs but not blood hounds". However, it appears that most of the Chartered Accountants are bloodhounds calling for their share in the all the management misdemeanours. Please suggest to the society and particularly the student fraternity, how to fight such vested forces to cleanse the dirt smeared on the faces of few individuals of the accountancy profession who tried to cover their dirty relationships by clinging to the top post in their Institute. Thanking You Yours Truly Avinash Turaga

Is it correct to ban the parties which form on the basis of caste/religion and creating unwanted tension in the country. I feel that, If people stop showing differences in caste/religion, then slowly our country do not need any reservation in the government.Even the caste based politics will dissappear?What is your opinion on this?

For example, the main issue we are facing is Resourse Management! i.e, Water, Human, and other sorts of natural resourses. These kind of management courses should be offered by the education department and the graduated should be offered with career opportunities in the ministries.

Question: Sir, Time and again our country has been deemed a developing/developed nation. But every once in a while we come across situations which beg us to differ, whether it is the floods in Mumbai and Chennai, the conditions of bad roads(arteries of a developed nation??), the various scams rocking the news, etc. It is my belief that one of the biggest causes of slow development (I think we have the potential to outstrip China by miles) is the hindrance caused by the bureaucracy. I know bureaucracy is a problem the world over, not just in our country, but I wouldn’t like to compare ourselves with someone else (perhaps my reference to China is inappropriate too). It takes an infinite amount of time for ideas to be implemented, by which time the idea itself is obsolete. If the so called “red tape” can be minimised, I’m sure a majority of our issues can be resolved.

Every nation which becomes powerful or which stands with time has strong roots, I mean their people love being citizens of their country, take pride in their ancient roots and they build further on them. But here in India vision-less politicians have compromised for the sake of foreigners. 3 generations down you cannot expect people to speak your mother tounge(Tamil) or any other indian language(bcoz neither roots are strong not it is growing). Let alone the language, their is no INDIAN system existing. India cannot be a master, it can be only a good servant.

An indication of this is recently Satyam computers announced their Q2 results from budapest,hungary. The advantages to India like English skill person, Abundant talent etc may not sustain if we do not take necessary steps now. Attrition rate, Labour policy etc are pulling back our IT growth.

Question: Respected Sir, These are my questions, 1.Instead of inter-linking rivers why can’t we construct small check dams along the river coarse which are eco-friendly, easy to construct and also financially possible? 2.Though we spend 1000s of crores in eradicating poverty, we couldn’t do so! We can’t even provide basic amenities like food, clothing or shelter for poor people. There are still thousands of children, physically/mentally challenged persons roaming in streets. If this is the case, how can we dream about VISION 2020? 3.Why can’t we use more nuclear power for electricity than to spend on nuclear bombs? Developed country France doesn’t have nuclear bombs, but generate more than 90% of electricity from nuclear energy. Why our education (from 1st standard to PhDs) is system is far behind that of other developed countries? Do u agree with our education system? Why can’t we follow same syllabus all over India from schooling to universities? Sincerely, A.Deviprasadh

Question: Sir, I really want to appreciate you for the kind of work you are doing. This is a good plateform to write to you as I know you are amongst the few politicians who care for Indian Citizens. Since I am also from technology background I beleive India needs intellectual people as the leaders. I want to ask you that why the constitution has no law which prevents a murderer oa a gunda to be a poltician. In India I beleive 90% of politician have some criminal background and this is pathetic. A law should be passed to prevent these kind of people and allow only those who are atleast graduate and I beleive its an urgent necessity and you can do this because you have the powers..

Question: Sir, Why the Indian Government does not issue I-Cards to all the Citizens of India as in the US where everybody has its personal identification number. This will help in many ways like: 1.)Controlling the infiltration of foreign citizens (like Bangladesh) that India is facing right now. 2.)Helps to track down any citizen throughout the country if required. 3.)Will also keep the track of the population. I have an idea on how to make the I-Card very effective as in it can also keep the track of age group, the economy class of the person etc. etc. So if government is interested I can share my idea...

The problem of terrorism and other forms of violence in the country are on the rise seery day? Its unsafe for girls, women and elders to travel in the nights, trains, buses and to certain places. My opinion is that there must be instant punishment for the law breakers and the process of legal system takes a long time and the culprit is always scot free. Sir you are the only hope in this country. Kindly suggest few ways oi dealing with this crisis. with lot of respects. I have been to your native place, Rameswaram recently. Its a nice place. Incidentally i studied in Chennai till STD VII. pls take care of your health yours affectionately K Aishwarya

Question: Sir Im Saikrishna pursuing my B.E final year.Sir Im one person who firmly believes India will be Technocratic country by the year 2020 but im seriously concerned like any citizen about the corruption and law and order in India.According to my observation it is the feeble Law and order system which is to blame with the people who encourage that .Sir why cant we reform or ammend our judicial system with so many loop holes and favouring the criminals instead of truth.As the facts suggest there are very few courts and judges when compared to the number of cases that are pending to be heard .I believe only when the Law is strong the justice would be proper and corruption would reduce and that would be a giant step towards a Shining ,Technocratic India.I promise that I would work devoting all my energies in attaining that .Thank you
