Dominique Lapierre, a French author with a passion for India, has died, his wife announced. Lapierre donated the bulk of his royalties from "City of Joy" to support humanitarian projects in India. In 2005, he said that thanks in part to this move, as well as donations from readers, it became "possible to cure a million tuberculosis patients in 24 years (and) to care for 9,000 children with leprosy".from World News Headlines, Latest International News, World Breaking News - Times of India https://ift.tt/xYj9XMu
