Введение
Книга Абдула Калама «Зажженные умы: раскрытие внутреннего потенциала Индии» (2002) – книга, написанная доктором А. П. Дж. Абдул Каламом, президентом Индии с 2002 по 2007 год. Доктор Калам посвятил книгу «Зажженные умы» ученику средней школы, с которым он встретился в школе. Во время беседы со студентами возник вопрос: «Кто наш враг?» Калам вспомнил, что было предложено множество ответов, но все сошлись на мнении студента Снехала Таккара: «Наш враг – бедность». Эта небольшая книга объемом 205 страниц анализирует настроения, свойственные индийцам сегодня, и предлагает пути ускоренного развития Индии, чтобы страна могла стать развитой державой. Калам обратился с этой книгой к молодому поколению граждан Индии. Спрос на книгу возрос после смерти доктора Абдула Калама в 2015 году.
Ignited Minds: Unleashing the Power Within India (2002, ) is a book written by Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, President of India from 2002 to 2007. Dr. Kalam dedicated Ignited Minds to an intermediate school child he met at a school. While talking to students, a question came up: “Who is our enemy?” Kalam recalled that many answers were given, but the one which all agreed upon came from student Snehal Thakkar: “Our enemy is poverty.” This small book of 205 pages examines attitudes afflicting Indians today and presents prescriptions for the rapid growth of India to enable the country to emerge as a developed country. Kalam addressed the book to the young citizens of India. The book saw increased demand following the death of Dr. Abdul Kalam in 2015.
Синопсис
Книга начинается с печального события. 30 сентября 2001 года вертолет Калама, следовавший из Ранчи, штат Джаркханд, Индия, в Бокаро, потерпел крушение. Чудом все находившиеся на борту остались живы. Каламу ввели успокоительное, и он вспомнил яркий сон, в котором увидел себя в пустыне, окруженной милями песка, где стояли пять человек: халиф Омар (R. A) или Умар, император Ашока, Махатма Ганди, Альберт Эйнштейн и Авраам Линкольн. Калам почувствовал себя незначительным в их присутствии и припомнил слова этих великих личностей. В этой главе Калам написал: «Мечтай, мечтай, мечтай: мечты превращаются в мысли, а мысли – в действия».
The second chapter emphasizes the importance of parents and elementary school teachers as role models. The third chapter talks about modern Indian visionaries such as J. R. D. Tata, Vikram Sarabhai, Satish Dhawan and Dr. Verghese Kurien. The next section of the book deals with the spiritual heritage of the Indian nation and talks about formulating a model of development based on India's inherent strengths. The fifth chapter of the book exhorts the Indians, constituting a nation of one billion people with multitude faiths and ideologies to develop a singular national vision and amalgamate into one national forum. The next chapter begins with a Thirukkural, which states: “Wisdom is a weapon to ward off destruction;It is an inner fortress which enemies cannot destroy.”
The caption line of the seventh chapter is followed by the following inspiring words of Abraham Lincoln: “Determine that things can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way.”
The eighth chapter exhorts for a change in the mindset and to take pragmatic risks which shall result in success. The last chapter “To My Countrymen” begins with a quote from Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore: “Let my country awaken.”
The book ends with a “Song of Youth” with these opening words: “As a young citizen of India,Armed with technology and love for my nation,I realize, a small aim is a crime.”

Тата, Викрам Сарабхаи, Сатиш Дхаван и доктор Вергезе Куриен. В следующей части книги рассматривается духовное наследие индийской нации и обсуждается формирование модели развития, основанной на внутренних силах Индии. В пятой главе книги индийцы, составляющие нацию из миллиарда человек с множеством верований и идеологий, призываются к выработке единого национального видения и объединению в единый национальный форум. Следующая глава начинается с цитаты из «Тируккурал»: «Мудрость – оружие, защищающее от разрушения; это внутренняя крепость, которую не смогут разрушить враги».
