Well-known Aerospace scientist, author and former Indian President Dr Abdul Kalam died before he could finish his dream book. Similar to his Vision 2020, which aimed at transforming India into a developed nation, he was in the process of writing a similar book for Tamil Nadu in particular.
Kalam had envisioned for writing a book in Tamil about the growth, development of Tamil Nadu. In fact, he wrote seven chapters of the book but before he could finish it, fate played spoilsport and took the India’s Missile Man away in form of death.
Titled “Ennathil Nalamirunthal Kanavu Tamilagam Uruvagum, Puyalai Thandinal Thendral,” Kalam wrote in detail about his vision for his state in the seven chapters. Co-author of the book and scientific advisor to Kalam when he was President, V Ponraj corroborated the same. On July 23, Ponraj said he had a last discussion with Kalam on the book.
“He dreamed of a developed Tamil Nadu and wanted such a State to blossom, the book had his vision for such a transformation,” Ponraj was quoted as saying.
