President unveils centenary edition of Mother Teresa's biography

President Pratibha Patil unveiled an updated edition of Mother Teresa's biography on the occasion of her 100th birth anniversary here on Thursday.

The book, which was first published in 1992 and subsequently translated in many languages, has been updated by its original author Naveen Chawla, a senior bureaucrat who also served as Chief Election Commissioner.

Nuns from Missionaries of Charity sang prayers to mark the occasion, which was also attended by some of the leading figures from art and literary circles.

The Managing Editor of The Hindu, N Ram, said the occasion was also a celebration of India, the country that embraced the white-saree clad nun.
