Manila: Two Indians -- Carnatic singer T M Krishna and prolific campaigner for eradication of manual scavenging Bezwada Wilson -- were among six persons who were today awarded the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay prize for 2016.

Wilson, 50, the national convenor of the Safai Karmachari Andolan (SKA), was awarded for "asserting the inalienable right to a life of human dignity" while 40-year-old Krishna was conferred the award under the 'Emergent Leadership' category for bringing "social inclusiveness in culture".
