Varanasi bomb blast victim leaves behind his eyes for others

From NewKarala.com, Varanasi bomb blast victim leaves behind his eyes for others. Ritesh succumbed to the injuries that he suffered in the Varanasi bomb blasts. Before dying, he pledged to donate his eyes. On March 28, doctors at Benares Hindu University transplanted his eyes to a girl, Nandini, and Devraji, an old woman.

Too often, the stories we get about India are about the cruelties and indifference in Indian society. That's why I post articles like this and the work of the bomb squad to defuse other bombs laid in Varanasi that show heroism.
