dalit inspiring
Inspiring, heart-warming story (sorry about this; I know you expect more from the Cynic Laureate so I won't let this happen too often)
Dr. Bindeswar Pathak, an Indian Brahmin, is mortified at how his country, despite laws against it, continues to oppress the lowest-class, untouchable Dalits, who in many parts of the country are still relegated to toilet-bucket cleaners. He's rescued 56, given them opportunities to middle-class-up themselves, and brought 36 to the United Nations to publicize 2008 as the Year of Sanitation (since 2.6 billion Earthlings do not have access to clean and safe toilet facilities).
