"Boy with no name"

In the Times of London, Dilip Premachandran and Daniel McGrory tell the story of one of the victims of last week's train bombings in Mumbai (which the Times insists on calling "Bombay").

HE IS known to all India as the Unknown Boy. He has not uttered a word since he was carried into Bhagwati Hospital, a victim of the last of the seven bombs that tore apart Bombay’s rush-hour trains.

Nobody has reported him missing, nor have any of the scores of survivors who trawl the city’s hospitals still looking for friends or family recognised the boy with no name.
