Their locality was predominantly Muslim, but there were quite a few Hindu families too, living amicably with their Muslim neighbours. The initial chapters provides an interesting glimpse of religious harmony which existed before India’s partition, the famous Shiva temple, which made Rameswaram so sacred to pilgrims, was about a ten minute walk from their house. Kalam was born in Rameswaram, a southern religious town in Tamilnadu. I loved the initial chapters of "Wings of Fire" since it gives a vivid picture of our country during 1930-1950s. It was very engaging initially, but tended to drag a bit towards the end with lot of technical details and procedural information of his space research and missile projects. It is the story of a boy from a humble background who went on to become a key player in Indian space research/Indian missile programs and later became the president of India. Wings of Fire is an autography of APJ Abdul Kalam covering his early life and his work in Indian space research and missile programs.
