Madanjeet Singh (1924 - 2012): A passionate humanist passes

A passionate humanist and secularist, a dog lover, an opponent of nuclear energy, a promoter for peace and solidarity among south asians, former diplomat, artist, writer, and philanthropist, Madanjeet Singh, 88, a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador since 2000, passed away in Beaulieu-sur-Mer in the south of France on Sunday following a stroke.

Madanjeet Singh will be sorely missed across South Asia and by all who knew him.
