RESPONSE: This is another hoax article unless the date and location of the
original
publication of this piece is provided or if this was a speech, the date and
place
where it was made.
Another bout of hollow jingoism!! I doubt the thorough gentleman, Abdul Kalam
would
address his fellow citizens as above.
