My Childhood Extra Questions and Answers Long Type
Question 1.
What were the religious consequences faced by Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam in his child hood?
Answer:
Being a Muslim child A.P.J Abdul Kalam was never treated differently from others and never felt he belonged from different religion, though all his friends were Hindu. He and his family all were whole heartedly involved into the Hindu customs and Hindu religion.
But oneday when he was in standard five anew teacher came to their class and told him to sit on the last bench as he belonged to a lower rank of the society and that teacher did not like to allow students sitting together belonging from Hindu and Muslim family .Due to this incident A.P.J Abdul Kalam’s best friend Ramanadha got upset and he complained against that teacher to his father who was the chief Priest of Rameswaram temple. Later the teacher was scolded and asked for an apology by his father.
Again, another incident happened to A.P.J Abdul Kalam, as the caste system was vividly followed in the society of Rameswaram at that time. His science teacher Sivasubramania Iyer was a religious and an orthodox Brahmin but was a religious type of person. He did not believe in the distinction on the Basisaf cast system. But his wife had an orthodox mentality. To break that and to break this society barrier one day he called A.P.J Abdul Kalam for dinner to his house.
Being an orthodox Brahmin his wife did not allow him to her kitchen and did not serve food but to break her motion Mr. Sivasubramania serve A.P.J Abdul Kalam food by his own hand and again invited him another day for dinner. That day his wife understood her mistake and cordially welcomed A.P.J Abdul Kalam into her kitchen and serve food by her own hand.
Question 2.) Why did Abdul Kalam want to leave Rameswaram? What did his father say to this? What do you think his words mean?
Ans- Abdul Kalam wanted to leave Rameswaram for further studies at the district headquarters in Ramanathapuram.

He also mentioned the quote by Khalil Gibran that actually says that children are a product of the universe’s desire,they come through parents not from the parents. Parents can provide their children with love, support, and guidance, but ultimately, children must learn to make their own decisions and live their own lives. Parents can’t control or dictate their children’s choices or thoughts, but they can provide a nurturing environment that encourages growth and independence.
Question 3.) What characteristics did Abdul Kalam inherit from his parents?
Ans- Abdul Kalam inherited honesty and self-discipline from his father and faith in goodness and kindness from his mother. Like his parents even he respected all religions.
