Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Lakshmana Sastry was the father of Kalam’s friend Ramanadha Sastry, and the high priest of the Rameswaram temple. He accused the teacher of spreading the poison of social inequality and communal intolerance in the minds of innocent children.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ramanadha Sastry became a priest of the Rameswaram temple. Aravindan went into the business of arranging transport for visiting pilgrims. Sivaprakasan became a catering contractor for the Southern Railways.
Detailed explanation-3: -When A.P.J Abdul Kalam’s mother came to know that he wanted to go Ramanathapuram for higher studies, she got upset. To console her, his father uttered few lines from “Your children” by Khalil Gibran. He wanted to mean that your children are not your children of life.
Detailed explanation-4: -Young Kalam had three close friends in his childhood-Ramanadha Sastry, Aravindan, and Sivaprakasan. All these boys were from orthodox Hindu Brahmin families. As children, none of them ever felt any difference amongst themselves because of their religious differences and upbringing.
