Role Model - Indian Leaders
                                                       India's reputation is being tarnished by certain leaders of dubious characters and various scandals thereon. However we can be proud of certain Indian  leaders who had also lived a lives which can be seen as ideal for Role Models.
                                             The first President of India Dr Rajendra Prasad was a true Gandhian and lived very simple life. He was a man of high character and dedicated to the public service. Nobody can point the finger towards him. The high  and glamorous life of Rashtrapati Bhavan had also not affected his life style.  The late president APJ Abdul Kalam was another President whose simple and dignified life style has impressed the people and inspired millions of youngsters.
                                             There were even few Prime Ministers who lived simple lives and were of high characters and values. They had dedicated their whole lives including their wealth and properties etc. Among them were Lal Bahadur Shastri and Morarji Desai.It will be very easy to find out about them i.e. From what they left behind. There are similarities among  them i.e. Simple living with high thinking.

                                              Lalbahadur Shastri was a simple man with powerful will power. It was reflected the same during his short but effective tenor as Prime Minister. He had not left much bank balance. Besides that he had no House and no  Motor Car. He gave due importance to Indian Farmers and Soldiers.

                                              Similarly Morarji Desai was a first and last Gandhian Prime Minister of India. He dedicated his Small Saving, Books, Personal belonging including his awards 'Bharat Ratna', and 'Nishane Pakistan 'to Gujarat Vidyapith, Ahmedabad. He had no House.  His family ancestral house was also given away for public services. He never believed in Image Building for public services. Therefore he refused to receive  highest National Awards. However Indian and Pakistani government made arrangements to  hand over those highest national award at his residence. He was a man of character with high values in public life. Besides that he was a man of high administrative ability.  The inflation Rate was the lowest in the history of india during his tenor as PM. He was in politics but was not politician.

                                                 The late president APJ Abdul Kalam was one who inspired Millions of Indians with his high secular ideals. He left behind 2500 Books, few Shirts,Pants and Suits.  He owned one flat which is also donated. He left Small Bank Account but left no Jewellery, no Car, and no ACor no Shares / Investments.
                                                It will seen from above that there are very few star leaders which are still shining in the cloudy political atmosphere of scandals and corruption.  They can inspires indians for creating the India of  their Dream.
