This man is a hero who has been working selflessly for the last 15 years for Bhopalis. Why hasn't the press covered him before? Just because he lives in France? And while we go mad about covering someone like Sunita Williams (astronaut) even though she is a US citizen one of whose parents is Indian, we ignore such noble souls as Mr. Sinha. Why? Because of political pressure? And yes, he is right about our fascination with white skin (remember how the press goes mad about foreign actor/actreeses?). If fairness creams worked, we'd have a whole bunch of people walking around with white faces and brown bodies!!!!!

Before anyone pounces on me for giving Sunita's example, let it be known that I have nothing against her and am proud of her accomplishments. But I wrote about her to bring out how the Indian press has thus discriminated against Mr. Sinha.
