Ans. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam was one of the five children of his parents. All the brothers and sisters lived in the good atmosphere of their family. They all lived together in their ancestral house. Kalam's father Jainulabdeen was generous. His mother was a hospitable lady. They knew how to respect others. Both the wife and the husband taught their children good moral lessons. They were not very rich. Still they provided every thing of necessity to their children. Thus the childhood of A. P. J. Abdul Kalam was materially and emotionally secured.
