Great epitaph on Desmond Tutu. He is counted, together with Nelson Mandela, one of the great men, by the Indian social thinkers. Congratulations!

Valsa, you have done a great thing by honoring a wonderful guy. Just like Mandela or Abraham Lincoln, who dedicated their lives to a noble cause, we should do the same. Very well done with this homage to him in honor of his memory.
