  5. 5. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's autobiography.
  6. 6. By making Kalam sit at the back because he was a Muslim.
  7. 7. The lesson shows the importance of communal harmony through Kalam's account of his early life in Rameswaram, where people of different religions lived together in friendship. Kalam, a Muslim boy, had close friends from other communities, such as Ramanadha Sastry, and grew up surrounded by mutual respect. The theme of breaking social barriers is brought out sharply through two contrasting incidents. In one, a new teacher, full of prejudice, made Kalam sit at the back of the class simply because he was a Muslim — an act of injustice. In the other, his science teacher, Sivasubramania Iyer, deliberately challenged such narrow attitudes by inviting Kalam to dine at his home, against the social customs of the time, and treating him as an equal. This noble act left a deep impression on the young Kalam. Together, these experiences show that prejudice should be rejected and that people must rise above barriers of religion and caste.
