Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu (August 26, 1910 - September 5, 1997), better known as Mother Teresa all over the world, is in news. This time it is not in the context of taking forward her unfinished agenda or for eradicating poverty or for mitigating the suffering of millions. It is in the context of fight for her mortal remains, exhuming her body and relocating to another country!
What is baffling is why some of the Nations, their Governments, State Governments and other local bodies cannot allow Mother to take well-deserved rest in a place of her choice. She breathed her last twelve years back.
Yes, she is mother of all poor wherever they are in the world and also to millions of her admirers. However, vast majority of her children are in India. Her soul is Indian. She is in integral part of Mother Earth now. It is natural justice not to disturb her remains in India to remind the world of her unfinished work. People around the world, please stop bickering for her remains.
