[Assam] [WaterWatch] Dr Kalam

Thu Jul 5 13:42:00 PDT 2007

Forgive me Debashish-da for not quite being able to catch the main idea here.

Are you afraid of what might replace the outgoing 'people's prez' 
whose formidable energies were wasted on something we don't care for, 
but at least he was a man of honesty and integrity ?

If that is what it is,  is a person of integrity and honesty or one 
who is not crippled by political partisanship would be so hard to 
come by, even for the largely ceremonial post of the presidency? And 
could that replacement be even worse than the outgoing one?

Forgive my ignorance that generated the query.

Best.
