What you say is true. The Indian Prez is a ceremonial head and PM has the real power. But then Dr. Kalam is considered to have a brilliant mind in the sciencitific community and the present Indian Govt. incl the PM is very close to him.
I hope the current Govt gets re-elected the coming year so that the good relationship continues between the Prez and the PM, which would be highly benificial for OSS and for the country.
My close friend met with the Prez last week when Dr. Kalam has said that he told Gates during their meeting last year that Dr. Kalam preferred OSS and that Gates was obviously not happy about it. Gates, it seems, asked the reason why Kalam preferred OSS.
Overall am very, very glad that M$ is losing grounds around the world.
