Economic ties with Alabama fit in Kalam's plan to help decrease poverty in India by the year 2020.
"The state is very progressive," Kalam said of Alabama. "The people are very happy people and hard-working."
Alabama, and its flagship university system, progressive? Dr. Kalam might want to check with Dr. Seema Gupta about that. He also might want to learn about what a federal jury found regarding UAB's treatment of IMGs from India.
In fact, one wonders if Dr. Kalam is aware of the discrimination that Dr. Gupta and other IMGs from India faced at UAB. Perhaps it's time he finds out.
