NEW INDIAN PRESIDENT MAKES A POINT TO OUTGOING PRESIDENT IN NEW DELHI.
New Indian President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam (R) makes a point to outgoing
President K. R. Narayanan during the swearing-in-ceremony inside the
parliament building in New Delhi July 25, 2002. Kalam, a prominent
Muslim, known as the father of India's nuclear missile programme, was
sworn in on Thursday as India's president in a move seen as bolstering
the nation's secular credentials after a wave of religious violence.
