The way it should be!
"We have a dramatic example today of what one dedicated person can do to change the lives of people in need. Fred de Sam Lazaro revisits a story he reported 10 years ago about an Irish Catholic nun who is a school principal in Calcutta, India. Her name is Sister Cyril Mooney."

An End to Suffering: The Buddha In The World and Bihar.
I am reading this book for the second time, I read it years ago and remembered it on our India trip. Part of the book covers the same area that we experienced. It is much different reading a book when you have experiences in the same area. If you have any serious interest in Buddha I can recommend the book. The Amazon Link is here.
In describing Bihar Pankaj Mishra states: "One of the most volatile places was Bihar, once part of the kingdom of Magadha, the first great Indian empire. In this poor and densely poplulated Indian state, where rich landowners travelled in private planes while a caste of rat eaters starved to death due to a shortage of field mice, brutality seemed a casual everyday affair. The stories came in from every direction. Private armies of upper-caste landowners massacred low-caste landless peasants. Communist activists retaliated with massacres of upper-caste families. Doctors going on strike pulled out transfusion tubes from the veins of their patients."
Set a Google alert for Bihar and look at the accumulated results!

"All these photos are about the familiar Shanghai in my memory. When I was still a child, these types of old factories and buildings were everywhere, alive and full of vigor. However, what I used to be so familiar with has literally disappeared in front of my eyes."
Just a few photographs, but I could look at them for hours.
