Question

How did ved Mehta's family members react to his blindness in the beginning?

Answer 1

It was good that I lost my sight when I did, because having no memories of seeing,there was nothing to look back to, nothing to miss. I went blind in November 1937. At that time we were living in Gujarat, in the province of Punjab in northernIndia. After my sickness, we moved to Lahore, a few miles away, but the numberof relatives who came to sympathize made my father ask for another transfer, thistime to Karnal, where we had neither friends nor relatives. There we got a cottageon the canal bank, built in very peaceful and quiet surroundings.
