A three-year-old boy diagnosed with polio, left on the streets of Howrah, was brought by Mother Teresa to the Missionaries of Charity. “There is a fading in the legacy [of Mother Teresa]. The artists and the band manager say that it’s an attempt to change the vocabulary of how Mother Teresa is presented. Other than the song, Gautam Lewis’ documentary film Mother Teresa & Me will be screened at an upcoming film festival dedicated to her in the city. Mr. Lewis, who said that the multimedia project, which includes the song, the photographs and the film, has three main characters: Mother Teresa, Kolkata and himself, adding, “Mother Teresa would be not who she was had it not been for Kolkata, and vice versa.”
