Orange Revolution

The 66-year-old orange vendor, himself having no schooling, received a Padma Shri award for bringing a revolution in rural education by constructing a school in a village in Mangaluru which now has 175 students studying there.

People have long used ribbons, flowers, colours or badges to symbolise political causes, from the carnations of Portugal's 1974 revolution to the orange ribbons of Ukraine's 2004 revolution to the gel wristbands now worn to promote almost any charity.

Yulia Tymoshenko, sprung from jail on Saturday as President Viktor Yanukovich's grip on power crumbled, is a former gas magnate whose ringing rhetoric electrified thousands during Ukraine's 2004-05 Orange Revolution and propelled her to power.

Pro-Russian opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych declared victory in Ukraine's presidential runoff but his opponent rejected the claim, saying the vote was too close to call.
