[India_Vision_2020] Conferring Mahatma title to Dr Kalam - Draft for discussion

dear friends

Many of the youngsters in India Vision group have been personally sending me the mails seeking guidance as to how we can honour Dr Kalam.  Dr Kalam has proved himself as 'living legend' and has galvanized the youth of this country, next only to Mahatma Gandhi.  Please read on the draft, whether we can post this in the Petitiononline site for the signature of all youth and cirtizens  of this country.

Please offer your suggestions immediately.  15th October is the birth day of Dr Kalam.  We need to complete our discussion by 10th and then post it in the peitiononline site.

Conferring title 'Mahatma' (Great Soul) to the legendary person Dr Abdul Kalam by Indian citizens 

To the People of India 

We, the citizens of India, feel honoured to confer the title 'Mahatma' to our former President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam. He has not only provided an extraordinary leadership to the youngsters of this country but also put us on an expressway of development of the Nation and freedom from poverty.   

In the early part of 20th century, Mahatma Gandhi motivated the youngsters of his  time towards freedom movement and provided a great leadership.  Out of great reverence, love and affection, the people honoured him with the  title 'Mahatma'.  

After sixty years of Independence, we are fortunate to have Dr Abdul Kalam, a legendary personality with us.  Mahatma Gandhi and Dr Kalam can be campared in many ways.   

1.   Mahatma Gandhi, though was in a family life, was leading the 'saintly' life adopting 'Brahmacharyam'.  Dr Kalam also leads a 'Saintly' life as a true Brahmachari, true to the Indian tradition.

2.   There is a God in simplicity and Dr. Kalam has demonstrated to the entire world that how one can live simple life even while staying in a presidential palace. Just like Mahatma Gandhi maintained his simplicity when he met Queen of England in his trademark – dhoti and shawl during his visit to the kingdom. 

3.     Mahatma Gandhi galvanized the youngsters during his time, towards 'freedom from British'.  Dr Kalam is galvanizing the present day youth with the 'India 2020 mantra' and motivating them towards the 'developed India' and 'freedom from poverty'.

4.   Both have placed India in the world map for the achievement in one form or other

5.    Gandhiji's hallmark was his mass appeal – right from peasant to Viceroy. Today Dr.Kalam holds such a respect  across all walks of life.

6.    Like Gandhi, Dr.Kalam has been stressing the need for rural empowerment. Infact he has been passionate advocate  of PURA (Provide Urban Amenities in Rural Areas)

7.   Both have provided a supreme leadership to the Nation.

Already, Indian Government has honoured Dr Kalam with the highest civilian Award Bharat Ratna.  It is now the turn of the People of India to honour him with the noble title 'Mahatma'  as a fitting tribute to his contributions to the country, on his 76th birthday falling on October 15th

Please put your signature, to get honoured by honouring Dr Kalam.
