BOOK REVIEW

Name of the book: - Ignited Minds 
Author :Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam 
Publisher of the book:-Penguin Books India Pvt. Ltd.Gurgaon,Haryana. 


This book is written by Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and dedicated this book to a student of class 12 Master Snehal Thakur. On April 2002 when he reached Anand under curfew.While talking to the student one question came that Who is our enemy? And correct answer was our enemy is Poverty. In this book there are 9 very interesting, knowledgeable and useful lessons.

One of them is Dream and the message.In this lesson he express how he was impressed by five men Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Emperror Ashoka, Abraham Lincon and Caliph Omar. He also quotes and gives the example of works of eminent persons like Thirukkural, Rabindranath Tagore, Abraham Lincoln, J. R. D. Tata, Vikram Sarabhai, Satish Dhawan and Dr. Verghese Kurien.

 'Ignited Minds - Unleashing the Power Within India' is a manifesto for the youth of a new India, an India which rises to its potential harnessing all its resources in an optimal way and becomes a world leader. And how would we do that? The answer is by using the power of young minds. Before we can do that, we have to awaken the young minds, 'ignite' them and let them set aside the inertia that has crept in. Throughout the book, Dr. Kalam talks about his vision to make India a developed nation by 2020.

He narrates the fruitful messages he got after talking to influential industrialists, political leaders, scientists, and seers . We can find the great pride that he takes in India and its rich cultural heritage and uses them to evoke national pride and to exhort the citizens of the country to work towards a common national goal. Dr. Kalam sets down the future of India on the young generation. The book is all about liberating our qualities. He explains how important it is for a child to have a role model and how they must have a dream. It is through dreams that actions happen.

The main focus of the book is his interaction with children of our nation. He states that the young children are the first scientists. Science exists from questions. Children ask inquisitive

Dr. Kalam has written this book with the solitary intention of motivating the minds of the young generation of India so that we can work together to take our country to greater and unimagined heights. At the heart of this book is the belief that the people of this nation have the power, by means of sheer hard work, to realize their dream of a truly good life. He has specifically chosen to address the youth because in his distinguished career as a space and defence scientist he relied on the power and potential of the youth.

He chose the youth and in doing so, he groomed the next generation of scientist who would take the mantle of being a space scientist from him and people of his generation. In the course of the nine chapters of this book, we can find many thought-provoking incidents and instances where Dr. Kalam was left in awe of the untapped talent and resources of the country.

He finds a unique mix of belief and knowledge that sets us apart from the other nations of the world. This book is written for the common man. It is a reminder to all of us that a simple man from Rameshwaram made it to the Rashtrapati Bhavan of New Delhi with his hard work and dedication.
