Saugata Roy speaks on Nelson Mandela | Transcript

I pay my tribute to one of the greatest men of modern times, Dr. Nelson Mandela. He led the struggle of the South African people against racism and apartheid. When he came out of prison after 27 years and became President of the South Africa, he led the fight for racial reconciliation. Nelson Mandela’s death is as much a loss to South Africa as it is to India as he was a true Gandhian. The whole world as well as all the struggling people who have waged a struggle will draw inspiration from the life and teachings of Nelson Mandela.
