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 will not only inspire the youth generation but can create a social change which is imminently required in India.
