forum.The people have to come together to create a harmonious India.

nation. The task of casting strong India is in the hands of a visionary political leadership.

TO MY COUNTRYMEN

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high,

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments…..

My father, let my country awake.”

- Rabindranath Tagore

EVALUATION OF BOOK

• The major strength of this book lies in the name itself where to

ignite the minds of the youth who can bring revolutions in the

world and can change the scenario of the nation.

• Weakness of this book lies in just dealing with the matters of youth

and enlighten their minds whereas India is being ruled by many age

old people who also need to be motivated to bring revolutions that a

right for the nation and that too through fair means.

LEARNINGS

• Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam wrote this book with an aim to ignite the minds of youth so that India turns into a developed nation by the year 2020 ..

• He through this book has clearly justifies the title unleashing the power within India.

• He had a vision to make the nation bright through youth potential which he as proved through the various examples mentioned in this book.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT• At the outset, being a youth I would pay my gratitude to Dr. A.P.J.

Abdul Kalam for framing a platform for youth of India to grow and provoking my spirits to change my character.
