Tribute COMMENTS
Gandhi called him 'abhay sadhak'-- a fearless seeker of truth and his mission to win a life of dignity for victims of leprosy went against the very grain of society which treated the leprosy-afflicted as untouchable outcastes.

Good to see a writeup on Baba Amte. His RWC ( Returned with courage) awards about the callousness of the Indian govt makes him a true Jewel of Bharat.

Eric Ambler was right when he said awards and rewards are decoration of mediocriry by ignorance. Baba Amte rose above medocrity and did work without bothering about awards.

The story of Baba Amte has been truly inspiring for any generation. People like him are source of constant inspiration and pride, for any Indian, across the generations. His passing away is a great loss to us, but the thing that has hurt me the most is that its only when he has passed away he is there in the news. For all this time where was the media sleeping in bringing out his social contribution. Its a matter of great anguish that our generation is deprived by the deeds of such men. I am an avid book reader who has seen numerous biographies on god-knows-who leaders of across the world lying in biggest of the book stores. Unfortunately I have never seen one on him. Doesn't TV and print media has to play a more proactive role in inspiring the new generation with more books and documentaries on such people. I am sure with such works we will not only inspire the youth generation but can create a social change which is imminently required in India.

Baba was a great soul.

It is sad that his contributions to the world do not make news in the media.

The last of greats.
