Why Does This Happen? - AIDS in India
by Andre Soares
Krittivas Mukherjee in Reuters: "A Bollywood film about a single mother and her young son’s struggle to live with HIV/AIDS opened in cinemas across India last week, marking the first foray by the Indian Catholic church into commercial cinema.
"The Hindi-language Aisa Kyun Hota Hai (Why Does This Happen?) is made with church money and it is hoped it will spread awareness about HIV/AIDS among India’s 1.1 billion people of whom more than 5.1 million are living with the deadly virus.
"That makes India the second worst affected nation after South Africa."
