World's younger Headmaster
Moved by the plight of poor parents who could not afford to send their children to school, Babar Ali , a student himself, has been conducting classes after his school hours since he was 11. He was called the “youngest headmaster in the world” by BBC in October 2009, at the age of 16.
The story of this young man is a remarkable tale of the desire to learn amid the direst poverty.

Neem Karoli baba
Neem Karoli baba, a spiritual teacher in search of whom Steve Jobs is said to have come to India, continues to be a revered figure 38 years after his death. One of the recent additions to his band of followers is Hollywood actress Julia Roberts.
About a year ago, Roberts told Elle magazine that she was attracted to Hinduism and converted to the religion after seeing a picture of the baba. Born Lakshmi Narayan Sharma in Akbarpur, Uttar Pradesh, the baba is called 'Maharaj-ji' by his followers. A devotee of the monkey god, Hanuman, he taught that compassion is the highest virtue.
