"தாய்மொழியான தமிழ் வழியில் கல்வி பயின்று", அறிவியல் துறையில் உலக சாதனைகள் செய்தவர் அப்துல் கலாம் - Dinamalar (Translation): "Having (primary & secondary) education by way of (his) Mother Tongue Tamil", (one who) made great World achievements in the field of Science was "Abdul Kalam"
Dr Abdul Kalam was well versed in Tamil Literature and often referred to them in his discussions with others. He was a scholar in "Tamil Thirukkural" and very often has made quotes from "Thirukkural" in his speeches at the Conferences, Meetings and Seminars in India and Overseas.
At the opening session of the "European Union Conference" held recently in Europe, Dr Abdul Kalam quoted a Tamil Verse of the "Tamil Poet Kaniyan Poongkuntranaar" from the Tamil Literary work "Puranaanooru" of the Third Sangam period of the first century B.C. This verse states "Every Country is my Country and every Citizen is my Kinsman" stressing the universal nature of the Internationl Relations, and he also explained on the content of the balance portion of this Tamil verse at the conference.
