Introduction
The book is being released at a time when the technological efforts in India, to assert its sovereignty and to strengthen its security, are being questioned by many in the world. In the same way, there is always a debate among people in some issue or the other. In prehistoric times, man fought for food and shelter. When the time passed, people began to fight among themselves for religion and ideological beliefs.
In the last few decades some countries which have become very strong in technology have taken away control for their own purposes. And this major country has become a self-proclaimed leader of the world order itself as a great power. So in such a situation, India has no other option but to strengthen itself technically. Can a country of billions of peoples like India progress in the field of technology? My answer is an emphatic Yes. And let me validate my answer by narrating some incidents from my life.
Summary Agnipankh Book Summary
I was born in a middle class Tamil family in Rameswaram, Madras State. My father Jainulabdeen, had no formal education and no money. In spite of these shortcomings , he had innate wisdom and genuine generosity of spirit.
My parents were perfect husband and wife. I was one of many children, we lived in our ancestral house which was built in the 19th century. It was a strong house made of limestone and bricks on Masjid Street in Rameshwar.
Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

The famous Shiva temple, which made Rameshwar very sacred to the pilgrims, was about 10 minutes’ walk from our house. The area where we lived was mostly Muslim people but there were also some Hindu families who lived very amicably with their Muslim neighbours.
There was an old mosque in our locality where my father used to take me for evening prayers. When my father used to come outside the mosque after namaz, people of different religions were waiting for him sitting outside. Many of them gave bowls of water to my father who used to pray by dipping his fingers in them. Pakshi Laxman Shastri, the priest of Rameshwar temple, was a very close friend of my father.
As a child I had three close friends Ramanadha Shastri, Aravindan and Shivprakashan. These three boys were from Hindu Brahmin families. Even after the separation of religion and upbringing, we never felt the difference of religious differences among ourselves. Ramnath Shastri was the son of Pakshi Laxman Shastri, the priest of Rameshwar temple. Shiv Prakashan became a catering contractor for the Southern Railway and Arvind went into the business of arranging transport for the visiting pilgrims.
When I was in the fifth standard at Rameshwar Primary School, a new teacher came to our class. I used to wear a hat that marked me as a Muslim and I used to sit in the front row as usual next to Ramanadha Sastry,, who wore a sacred thread. The new teacher did not like the son of a Hindu priest sitting with a Muslim boy.
According to our social ranking, as soon as the teacher saw us and asked me to sit on the back bench, I was very sad. And so did Ramnadha Shastri. He looked completely disappointed when I shifted to the last row seat. The image of him crying when I got to the last bar left an indelible impression on me.
When we returned home after school break and told the parents about the incident. Laxman Shastri called the teacher and asked the teacher not to spread the poison of communal intolerance and social inequality in the minds of these innocent children. He asked the teacher to either apologize or leave the school. Not only did the teacher regret his behavior, but with a strong sense of conviction, Laxman Shastri corrected this young teacher.

One day, when I was in the fourth form, my math teacher was teaching in the second grade. Unknowingly I went to his class and like an old-fashioned dictator he grabbed me by the neck and started hitting me sitting in front of the whole class. Several months later, when I got full marks in mathematics, he told the entire school about the incident in the morning meeting. The one I cane becomes great! This boy will one day light up the name of his school and teachers. His praises made for the humiliation of long ago.
When I finished my education, Schwartz was a confident boy who was determined to succeed. The decision to go for further education was made for a second thought. In those days people did not know much about the possibilities of vocational education, people considered higher education to mean only college. The nearest college was Tiruchirappalli, which was called Trichinopoly in those days, and Trichi for short.
Arun Tiwari worked under Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam for over a decade at the Defense Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad. He is currently the Director, Institute of Cardiovascular Technology, Hyderabad, where he is pursuing Dr Kalam’s vision of developing cost-effective medical devices using indigenous defense technology.
