The Last Interview: Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

27th July, 2015: At roughly the same time when a few brainwashed, hate-ridden militants near the India-Pakistan border were hell-bent on making this planet implode with malice and parochialism, a few thousand kilometres away, a venerable, smiling gentleman was trying to save it by teaching a course on making this earth a more liveable place.

Quotes by Sami Ahmad Khan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I am a Dalit in Khairlanji. A Pandit in the Kashmir valley. A Sikh in 1984. I am from the North East of India when I am in Munirka. I am a Muslim in Gujarat; a Christian in Kandhamal. A Bihari in Maharashtra. A Delhi-wallah in Chennai. A woman in North India. A Hindi-speaker in Assam. A Tamilian in MP. A villager in a big city. A confused man in an indifferent world. We're all minorities.
We all suffer; we all face discrimination. It is only us resisting this parochialism when in the position of majoritarian power that makes us human.

I hope that one day, I can just be an Indian in India - only then can I be me.”
