Dear Sudhakar,
I agree that most of them use it at their convenience. But Kalam is
not a person who will ever fade. and thus i still fill it suits him
best. Do you have any suggestions for a better title, you free to let
us know!

the Mahatma has already been wrongly used and moreover, used with
Mahatma Gandhi, and the aftermath of the word generally in the
country, proves that people put great persons on the pedstal, to be
ignored in their personal life and use them only when it suits their
interests political or economic. In this light, since Dr. Kalam is so
close to the youths of India, and a spokesperson of India's
aspirations, capabalities and positive outlook to take the nation to
the greatest height, conferring Mahatam to Dr.Kalam would be
indirectly distancing him from the youth and massess. Moreover, the
title Mahatma is associated with religious rather that a spiritual
connotetion. Therefore, Let us therefore find some other title which
clearly epitomise the essence of his personality, his relationship
with people and his futuristic approach to the problem.
