APJ Abdul Kalam had near zero contribution to general science. He published near-zero papers in peer reviewed journal.

He was salaried scientist in DRDO.

Moreover he kowtowed to every religious authority imaginable. He is so famous among majority Indians is because he frequently visited Hindu temples, Jain monks- despite being a Muslim.

I don't like this man for being so religious.

And just like the current ISRO chairman, he also said that we must research Atharva Vedas to learn more about modern science, aviation, etc. [0]

So, whom you call a great scientist, was only a salaryman of DRDO with nauseating pantheism.

While those criticisms are true, and I won’t dispute it, he was also a huge symbol for many to actually trust in science and push the country forward.

Sometimes what the symbol represents is more important than the contents itself
