Undeniably, a great soul of our age, Mother Teresa of Calcutta transcends "race, religion, and nationality." Her work brings "new hope for the future of mankind." In the words of V. V. Giri, former president of India. Mother Teresa and India gives a thought-provoking analysis of the Nobel Prize winner's powerful spiritual message of Christian love in action and explores the background of India's unique social problems and the desperate plight of the poorest of the poor. Taking Mother Teresa's inspiring spiritual service as a model, the author urges the need for Indian leaders from all walks of life to combat the problems of hunger and poverty with compassion and dedication through the revival of spiritual and humanitarian values.
