I had no idea the ashes had not already been scattered. I wonder why not the sacred Ganges River.
It is heartbreaking to see the devastation caused by the Caste system. Were he alive, for sure he'd be fasting.
A great, great man.

Thanks for this clip. I had no idea this was happening so many years after his untimely death. To echo kkcapricorn, a great, great man.
