Ignited Minds

Ignited Minds is the name of a book written by President of India, Shri A P J Abdul Kalam. The book was first published in 2002, and the complete name of the book is Ingnited Minds - Unleasing the Power Within India. Ignited Minds is a logical step forward to President Kalam's earlier Book, 'India 2020 - A vision for the New Millennium'.

President Kalam has dedicated Ignited Minds to a high school child, named Snehal Thakkar, whom he met at a school, and while talking to the students, a question had come up: " who is our enemy?". President recalls that many anwers came up, but the answer on which all agreed came from her (Snehal Thakkar): " Our enemy is poverty".

The small book of 205 pages contain dynamic and original ideas, examins attitudes afflicating the Indians, and present prescriptions for rapid growth of India to enable the country to emerge as a developed country.
