After huffing and puffing and wasting more bandwidth Mario is yet to provide the date, time and location in Hyderabad where this speech was delivered by President Kalam.
Nevertheless it appears the bogus author of this commentary had Mario in mind when he spoke and wrote, rather wrote and then spoke thus: "Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system." [1] As demonstrated several times, Mario makes bogus statements and spends a lifetime trying to prove them right instead of withdrawing them. RKN on Facebook is one such recent allegation. - B [1] http://www.uttishthata.org/2007/07/06/a-letter-to-every-indian-apj/ -----Original Message----- From: Mario Goveia > When I posted a speech made earlier this year in Hyderabad by Abdul > Kalam asking Indians to improve their civic sense, which was widely > circulated in India but not widely reported abroad, there were some on > Goanet who took umbrage and insinuated that the speech was a fraud, > which was a shocking response to this rare call to Indians by a > respected national leader. > Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:37:59 -0400 From: "Bosco D" <[email protected]> #1) Please advise the date, time and location in Hyderabad where this speech was delivered. #2) If this was a speech, why does the webpage of the link you provided state "A Letter to Every Indian - APJ Abdul Kalam" [1] #3) Surely you know the difference between a letter and a speech. Mario responds: Bosco is absolutely right. I used "letter" and "speech" interchangeability. However, I wonder if he knows that THE CONTENTS of a widely circulated open letter to the country by an ex-President is tantamount to a speech.
