Former Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam, popularly known as the Father of India's missile program, died in the northeastern state of Meghalaya Monday at the age of 83.
印度前总统APJ·阿卜杜勒·卡拉姆，号称印度导弹计划之父，周一于东北部梅加拉亚邦逝世，享年83岁。
Kalam collapsed1 during a lecture at a management institute in state capital of Shillong late in the evening. He was rushed to a hospital where doctors declared him brought dead "due to cardiac arrest".
Prior to serving as India's 11th President from 2002 to 2007, Kalam was closely linked to India's civilian2 space program and military missile development efforts.
He had also played a key role in India's Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, which earned him the title of "India's Missile Man".
Indian President Pranab Mukherjee described Kalam's death as his personal loss. "His warmth, humility3 and simple ways endeared him to one and all," President Mukherjee said in a message.
"He had a special love for children and sought to constantly inspire the youth of our country through motivational speeches and personal interaction," said the message.
