How does Khushwant Singh portray Mother Teresa's becoming the favourite of Calcutta?
Khushwant Singh has written a fine article about Mother Teresa describing how she became the beloved of Calcutta. She was the celebrated Ugoslavian missionary who founded the Missionaries Of Charity in Calcutta and was later honoured with the Nobel Prize and the Bhaarath Rathna. She took up missionary work at the very early age of Twelve. To her it was a work of love, just like being married to Christ. She said, we are never too young to love, it was just like a girl getting ready to get married. She went to India and became a school principal there. Once, while travelling to Darjeeling, she said she got a call from God, asking her to serve the poor. Thus she started the Missionaries Of Charity in Calcutta in Bengal. Poverty, chastity, obedience and free service are the four vows of her Order. They have to remain poor, show chastity to God, be obedient to God and render free service to all. Her institutions take in destitutes and lepers to care. Their day begins with a very early morning prayer and ends with another. Wearing a blue bordered white sari, she controlled everything like a mother and almost became an Indian. The Catholic Mother starting a Charity Home very near to the Goddess Kaali's Temple in Calcutta angered the caste Hindus there. They surrounded her with weapons and she faced them boldly. She asked them to kill her if they wanted, but never to disturb the inmates who were dying in peace. One day a T.B-affected priest enjoyed her nursing and exclaimed: "For Thirty years I have served Goddess Kaali in her temple, and now the Goddess stands before me." Within a short period, Calcutta people's attitude towards her changed to affection, ardence and respect. People willingly helped her with funds. Becoming a member of Mother Teresa's organization became much valued in Calcutta. The former Bengal Chief Minister Dr. B.C.Roy was a great admirer of Mother. She could visit his office any time without notice.
