Dr. Abdul Kalam in neighboring India is a good role model. He was
among the most respected defence scientists in India and went on to be
elected President of India for a 5 year term (Life time appointments
are not in keeping with democracy except for constitutional monarchs).
Even after retirement, Dr. Kalam remains a respected name. Just this
month, when a political party wanted to decide on the merits of a
proposed nuclear deal by the Manmohan Singh government, the party
leaders went to Dr. Abul Kalam to get his view.
