P Sainath never fails to inspire

[@GS-ne7zf]

Very few people could make such topics interesting for the listeners. Mr.Sainath is foremost among them. Excellent. I wish I could share this video with my contacts. Unfortunately, they would not watch. It pains.

[@akileish23]

I have been following Mr. Sainath's work for almost a year now. I have never come across anything where he talks about himself in this detail. I guess that is contrary to his ethic of writing and talking about the everyday lives of everyday people.
I have had the honor of being one of the students who attended his lectures and heard some of these stories in person. This is a gem of a video. Thank you so much for this.

Sainath is a great human soul, who is a professional journalist at the heart. Full power. God Bless. He will connect with ALL good humans on the planet, especially in third world nations and peoples. Jai-Hind.

[@manju331]

An inspiration. Thanks for posting.

[@VikasSingh-pf2sg]

No one knows India and her people better than Sainath.

[@maximahoro8970]

Salute Sainath for his articulation of the issues relating to Agriculture. We are contemporaries in terms of age, and I wish I had met him in 1977, and joined him in journalism related to farmers issues and rural and agricultural activities. Jai-Hind. Full power.
