Dear Mahendraji, Yes i agree with you, it's nice comment and real fact. Kindly keep it up to write right things. Every indian knows the high drama in evading extremists and lost precious lives of young soldiers and now the dirty pakistan called that place as Azad Kashmir and people of pak living there. That portion india lost.
It's better that Dr.Abdul Kalam not to contest because earlier it was through cheap poltics to get minority votes made him as president, whole nation has respect to this perosnality being scientist. Earlier it was whole drama by two old showing india shining but real citizens of india were aware they knew everything even in invasion of half trained extremists from kargil, Mushraff's Agra visit & export sugar and free entry through bus in border of pakistan.
Really shame to call ourslef as Indians where we could not make a capable person as our president because of cheap politics by an forign lady who is not fit to become a chaprasi.
