On May 21, 2021, I found out through a social media post that Sunderlal Bahunguna had passed away in Rishikesh. He had tested positive for COVID-19 three days earlier. I had only recently thought of him when multiple dead bodies were found floating on the Ganga, the river for whose preservation Bahuguna had dedicated his lifelong activism.
I thought of his forlorn eyes that held the Ganga in them, as I had witnessed up close one evening more than a decade ago.
