Dear Friends: The Independent UK has this story today (19 02 2012). It is not weblinked. You read it directly on-line or google it.The sub-heading introduces this long piece as follows::
The Okhla slums of Delhi are home to 150,000 of India's poorest citizens - and malnutrition is a daily crisis, So how did a former Vogue cover star come to visit - and does the celebrity photo-op really have a lasting charitable effect? [My comment. The slums of Mumbai, Kolkata, New Delhi, etc are easily accessed and often visited by home-grown and foreign journalists, social reformers, national and foreign statesmen and so on. India still lives in villages but rural poverty does not get the focus that it merits.] -bhuban - _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
