APJ Abdul Kalam 91st birth anniversary: Back in the 1980s, when India had hardly dreamt of having its indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle, Dr Kalam s over 10-year-long hard work as the project director for the development of the indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle at ISRO led to the achievement.
Dr APJ Abdul, also known as the Missile Man of India, is a significant source of inspiration for millions of Indians. The 15th of October is widely celebrated as World Students Day.
In a significant move, the Muslim wing of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has come out in support of the Karnataka student, Bibi Muskan Khan, who shot to prominence during hijab protests, and said that hijab or 'pardah' is also part of Indian culture.
