Agreed that baba Amte was great but comparison with the all time greatest mahatma gandhi is not justified. Mahatma gandhi was far greater a social server than baba amte...

There is not a question of comparison. I dont understand why you compare two great people. The article says 'Followers' then where comparison comes from. We should admire Amte for the kind of service for mankind he has done. Why common people like us only admire,compare or create unwanted argument there is need to follow them rather!

Very true Amol. I agree with you. Its very easy to compare and criticise. But it takes grit to praise and pay homage to great soul. Ask them to shell out Rs.100 and they will think twice before donating (many would consider tax benefits!!!)

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 government (to hand Pak 55 Cr Rs.) on any issues. He avoided to go on hunger strikes (Partition) for own causes. He also wasn't hungry for fame. He never been responsible for killing of lacs of Indians ( partition). It's not a time for comparison as long as he's greater than we all Gandhi's followers (???!!!) is a great thing in itself.

Please do not compare Baba Amte with Gandhi. We are not here to select who is better or who served the nation in the larger interest

So that shows you did read good books on Baba Amte's life!! If you want to promot Gandhian thinking, write in a blog or start a website! Here we only talk about Baba Amte. this is not a place to demean Baba's work by comparing with anybody else.

He was a Magsaysay awarad winner, very few people across the world get it every year. Was worth of getting Nobel Peace Prize
