The Sainath touch

IN Media Watch Briefs | 05/01/2015

P Sainath came to Delhi  (among other city stops) to present his digital venture People's Archive of Rural India to an audience. He drew an overflowing  crowd at a large local hall, much to the surprise of those who came and found they could not get in through any of the doors. That's because Sainath is a rock star people could be heard saying. And can  presumably elevate  rural livelihoods  to the popularity of  rock music. Hats off to him for that.
