Chapter 6 My Childhood

-by APJ Abdul Kalam

Birth, Childhood and First Earning of Abdul Kalam

Abdul Kalam was born in a middle class Muslim family in 1931 in the island town of Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. In his childhood, he was greatly influenced by his parents, his teachers and his friends.

Abdul’s father, Jainulabdeen, was not much educated but he was a very generous and kind person. He was not rich but provided a secure childhood to Abdul and his brothers and sisters. Abdul’s mother’s name was Ashiamma. Abdul inherited honesty and self-discipline from his father and faith in goodness and deep kindness from his mother.

Abdul earned his first wages by working as a helper to his cousin, Samsuddin, who distributed newspapers in Rameswaram. When the Second World War broke out in 1939, Abdul was only eight years old. There was a great demand of tamarind seeds at that time. Abdul used to collect these seeds and sell them in market.

अब्दुल कलाम का जन्म 1931 में तमिलनाडु के द्वीप शहर रामेश्वरम में एक मध्यम वर्गीय मुस्लिम परिवार में हुआ था। बचपन में वे अपने माता-पिता, अपने शिक्षकों और अपने दोस्तों से बहुत प्रभावित थे।

अब्दुल के पिता जैनुलाबदीन ज्यादा पढ़े-लिखे नहीं थे लेकिन वे बड़े उदार और दयालु व्यक्ति थे। वह अमीर नहीं था लेकिन उसने अब्दुल और उसके भाइयों और बहनों को एक सुरक्षित बचपन प्रदान किया। अब्दुल की माता का नाम आशियम्मा था। अब्दुल को अपने पिता से ईमानदारी और आत्म-अनुशासन और अपनी माँ से अच्छाई और गहरी दया में विश्वास विरासत में मिला।

अब्दुल ने अपनी पहली मजदूरी अपने चचेरे भाई समसुद्दीन के सहायक के रूप में काम करके अर्जित की, जो रामेश्वरम में समाचार पत्र वितरित करता था। 1939 में जब द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध छिड़ा, तब अब्दुल केवल आठ वर्ष का था। इमली के बीजों की उस समय काफी मांग थी। अब्दुल इन बीजों को इकट्ठा कर बाजार में बेचता था।

Incidents of Abdul Childhood

In his childhood, he had three close friends – Ramanadha Sastry, Aravindam and Sivaprakashan. All these boys were from orthodox Hindu Brahmin families. Once when he was in the fifth standard, a new teacher asked him not to sit in the front row along with the high caste Brahmin boys. Abdul found Ramanadha Sastry crying when he got up and went to the last row. This made a lasting impression on Abdul. This matter was brought to the knowledge of Lakshmana Sastry (Ramanadha Sastry’s father). He was the head priest of the Rameswaram temple.

He told the teacher that he should not spread the poison of social inequality and communal intolerance in the minds of innocent children. The teacher accepted his mistake.

बचपन में उनके तीन करीबी दोस्त थे – रामनाथ शास्त्री, अरविंदम और शिवप्रकाशन। ये सभी लड़के रूढ़िवादी हिंदू ब्राह्मण परिवारों से थे। एक बार जब वह पाँचवीं कक्षा में थे, तो एक नए शिक्षक ने उन्हें उच्च जाति के ब्राह्मण लड़कों के साथ पहली पंक्ति में नहीं बैठने के लिए कहा। जब अब्दुल उठे और अंतिम पंक्ति में गए तो उन्होंने रामनाथ शास्त्री को रोते हुए पाया। इसने अब्दुल पर एक अमिट छाप छोड़ी। यह मामला लक्ष्मण शास्त्री (रामनाथ शास्त्री के पिता) के ज्ञान में लाया गया था। वह रामेश्वरम मंदिर के मुख्य पुजारी थे।

उन्होंने शिक्षक से कहा कि वह मासूम बच्चों के मन में सामाजिक असमानता और सांप्रदायिक असहिष्णुता का जहर न फैलाएं। शिक्षक ने अपनी गलती स्वीकार की।

Anti-Casteist Action of Abdul’s Science Teacher

On the other hand, Abdul was greatly influenced by his science teacher, Sivasubramania Iyer. He learnt the lesson of breaking social barriers from him. Iyer invited him to his home for a meal. His wife was an orthodox Brahmin who refused to serve food to a Muslim boy in her so-called ‘ritually pure’ kitchen. Iyer served him with his own hands and sat down beside him to eat his meal. He convinced his wife to serve Abdul with her own hands next time he came, thus, successfully changing the conservative attitude of his wife.

दूसरी ओर, अब्दुल अपने विज्ञान शिक्षक शिवसुब्रमण्यम अय्यर से बहुत प्रभावित थे। सामाजिक बंधनों को तोडऩे का पाठ उन्होंने उन्हीं से सीखा। अय्यर ने उन्हें अपने घर खाने पर बुलाया। उनकी पत्नी एक रूढ़िवादी ब्राह्मण थीं, जिन्होंने एक मुस्लिम लड़के को उसकी तथाकथित ‘धार्मिक रूप से शुद्ध’ रसोई में भोजन परोसने से मना कर दिया था। अय्यर ने उन्हें अपने हाथों से परोसा और खाना खाने के लिए उनके पास बैठ गए। उन्होंने अपनी पत्नी को अब्दुल के अगली बार आने पर अपने हाथों से सेवा करने के लिए मना लिया, इस प्रकार, अपनी पत्नी के रूढ़िवादी रवैये को सफलतापूर्वक बदल दिया।

Abdul gets Permission for Higher Education

For higher education, Abdul asked permission from his father to leave Rameswaram and study at the district headquarters in Ramanathapuram. His father happily gave permission, so that Abdul could develop his own career. His father convinced his hesitant mother by quoting Khalil Gibran, who had said that parents are a means for children to become independent from them – they don’t belong to the parents themselves.

उच्च शिक्षा के लिए, अब्दुल ने अपने पिता से रामेश्वरम छोड़ने और रामनाथपुरम में जिला मुख्यालय में अध्ययन करने की अनुमति मांगी। उनके पिता ने खुशी-खुशी अनुमति दे दी, ताकि अब्दुल अपना करियर विकसित कर सके। उनके पिता ने खलील जिब्रान के हवाले से अपनी झिझकती हुई माँ को मना लिया, जिन्होंने कहा था कि माता-पिता बच्चों के लिए उनसे स्वतंत्र होने का एक साधन हैं – वे स्वयं माता-पिता से संबंधित नहीं हैं।

Conclusion of My Childhood

The chapter – My Childhood portrays the childhood memories of one of India’s greatest aerospace scientists, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and how he spent his early days. He also served as the eleventh President of India from the year 2002 to 2007.

अध्याय – माई चाइल्डहुड भारत के सबसे महान एयरोस्पेस वैज्ञानिकों में से एक डॉ. ए.पी.जे. के बचपन की यादों को चित्रित करता है। अब्दुल कलाम और उन्होंने अपने शुरुआती दिन कैसे बिताए। उन्होंने वर्ष 2002 से 2007 तक भारत के ग्यारहवें राष्ट्रपति के रूप में भी कार्य किया।
