Strong Roots by A.P.J Abdul Kalam

 

Q:- Kalam's locality./ Discuss the communal harmony from the story.

Ans:- From the autobiographical sketch "Strong Roots" by A.P.J Abdul Kalam, we get the picture of communal harmoney. He was born into a middle-class Tamil Muslim family in the island of Rameswaram in the erstwhile Madras state. He spent his childhood in his ancestral house. It was located on the mosque street in Rameswaram. About his locality, he said, "Our locality was predominantly Muslim, but there were quite a lot of Hindu families too, living amicably with their Muslim neighbours. "There reigned a perfect harmony.

     There was a very old mosque there where his father fook him for the evening prayer. The Shiva Temple of Rameswaram made the place famous. It was about a ten-minute walk from his house. When he came out of the mosque after the prayers, people of different religions would be sitting outsides and waiting for him. There are bowls, full of water in their hands. Kalam's father would dip his fingers in them and say a prayer. This water then carried home for invalids. The people also came to thank him after being cured.

     The high priest of Rameswaram Temple, Pakshi Lakshmana Sastry was very colse friend of his father. They discussed their spiritual matters with each other.
