Dr. Kalam was born and brought up in a multi-religious, multi-ethnic community, and this type of milieu had a profound effect on his personality. He gave equal respect to all faiths and religions; and he did not pay only lip-service to different religions. During his life, he visited the saints and seers of all faiths, discussed with them and learnt from them. He learnt what divinity and spirituality actually meant, and brought out a blended form. For him, religion is a connecting thread. He was quite at ease when he quoted from the Gita or the Hadith, or for that matter, from the holy texts of other faiths. In this book, we have made a solemn endeavour to read his mind, how he thought at every turn of his life; and this will help the readers to understand the intricacies of his thinking and how he was guided for a mission in his life. To understand him well, we have also narrated a number of incidents, accidents and events of his life, that would contribute to holistic understanding about him. He took up the challenges and worked on them wholeheartedly; whenever he failed, he overcame his negativity and came out a stronger man than ever. This is the beauty of his character, and this makes him one of the most popular public figures of all times. May his soul rest in peace! —K. Senthil Kumar, IAS

Greatness is not by accident. Greatness is a quality processed, honed and learnt over a lifetime of learning and hard work. Great human beings are built when a curious mind is met with life changing lessons, often early in the childhood. Just like the nature and quality of a tree is decided by the characteristic of the seed and how it is sown, the worth of a human life is shaped in the early stage of childhood. Often these life teachings as a growing up child, transform into the values which set the boundaries of one’s adult actions and govern one’s decisions. We all know Dr. Kalam as an eminent teacher, an excellent President, an exception scientist, a talented rocket scientist, a team man, an institution builder and a man of ethics and integrity. But what went behind the scenes, in the formative days of “Little Kalam” which shaped him slowly but surely into Dr. Kalam – the man we remember and admire. This books aspires to take you in this early history of childhood of Kalam tracking “Little Kalam” as he begins his first steps into the sands of Rameshwaram – which one day will translate into a march to the Rashtrapati Bhawan.
