Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam Marecar, né le 15 octobre 1931 à Dhanushkodi , et mort le 27 juillet 2015 à Shillong , est un homme d'État indien, le 11e président de l'Inde, du 26 juillet 2002 au 24 juillet 2007.

Bien qu'il soit musulman dans un pays majoritairement hindouiste, il occupe des postes de plus en plus prestigieux dans la recherche scientifique et technique de l'Inde. Il parvient à doter le pays de la bombe atomique en 1998. Pour cette raison, il est surnommé l'« Homme du missile indien » . Il est aussi le scientifique indien le plus honoré.

Au-delà de ses aspects scientifiques et politiques, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam est reconnu comme un sage et un grand humaniste très intéressé par la spiritualité et la philosophie de son pays. Il utilise également beaucoup de poèmes du Tamil Nadu, les kurals, lors de ses discours et a donné ses 10 premiers mois de salaire de président à l'ONG humanitaire indienne créée par Mata Amritanandamayi.

Il a écrit plusieurs ouvrages dont une autobiographie, Les Ailes de feu, dans lesquels il encourage la jeunesse de son pays à faire en sorte que l'Inde devienne une superpuissance à l'horizon 2020. Wikipedia

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam: Citations en anglais

“I have always been a religious person in the sense that I maintain a working partnership with God. I was aware that the best work required more ability than I possessed and therefore I needed help that only God could give me. I made a true estimate of my own ability, then raised it by 50 per cent and put myself in God's hands. In this partnership, I have always received all the power I needed, and in fact have actually felt it flowing through me. Today, I can affirm that the kingdom of God is within you in the form of this power, to help achieve your goals and realise your dreams.”

“My school was a happy place. All of us who started our schooling there completed our studies till the eighth standard. I don't remember even a single person dropping out. These days, when i visit schools, both big and small, all across the country, i tell them that true quality does not come from a great building or great facilities or great advertisements. It happens when education is imparted with love by great teachers.”

My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions

“I often read Khalil Gibran, and always find his words full of wisdom. "Bread baked without love is a bitter bread that feeds but half a man's hunger"—those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around. If you are a writer who would secretly prefer to be a lawyer or a doctor, your written words will feed but half the hunger of your readers; if you are a teacher who would rather be a businessman, your instructions will meet but half the need for knowledge of your students; if you are a scientist who hates science, your performance will satisfy but half the needs of your mission.”
