Aroup Chatterjee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Aroup Chatterjee is the author of the book Mother Teresa: The Final Verdict which seeks to challenge the claim to fame of Mother Teresa as a symbol of selfless service. Chatterjee, a physician who formerly worked with the Missionaries of Charity, the order founded by Mother Teresa, has accused her of unfairly damaging the reputation of the city of Kolkata. He also claims that she dishonestly exaggerated the good work she did among the poor, that she failed to spend the very large amount of money donated to her on helping the poor and that the medical care given to people in her homes is grossly inadequate. A documentary named Hell's Angel shown on Channel 4, a British television channel, narrated by another known critic of Mother Teresa, Christopher Hitchens (who co-produced the documentary with Tariq Ali). Dr Chaterjee has criticised the documentary for being sensationalistic, but has not commented on the veracity of the claims. The two were the only two official hostile witnesses to the church procedures for her beatification in 2003.
