You didn't hear of Baba Amte isn't surprising, cos the great man never been the center of controversies, neither he tried to interfere with governments on any issues. He avoided to go on hunger strikes for own causes. He also wasn't hungry for fame.

Baba Amte - "Amar rahe" 'Eeshwar aplya atmyas shanti devo hi tyache charani prarthana'. Yes we should be happy & proud thatwe belong to such a great country where people like him have lived!! Be positive,Practice some of his activities& leave Cynicism. For most of us here, I think he's much above 'Bharat-Ratna'. Publicise good thoughts & actions and ignore the negative side. This will help us and the country as whole. Hope most of the people will agree this....
