Descrption:
 Considering reports on the BBC, Times of London, Telegraph, The Guardian, and other Western media of corruption by India's most controversial guru Sathya Sai Baba, there is another side of India - that gives hope. Tim Sullivan (Thu, Mar/09/2006) Associated Press reported, “What surprised India was its own reaction: Protesters took to the streets, holding candlelight vigils and waving signs calling for justice; newspapers have kept the story on the front page day after day; officials from the president to the capital's police chief have called for a review of the investigation. In a country that had all but resigned itself to its barely functioning legal system, a backlash was born”.
