Summary

Ved Mehta became blind when he was three and a half years old. It was in 1937. His mother called pandits and hakims to offer prayers and apply special medicines in his eyes. His father didn’t support his wife, so, he sent him to Dadar School for the Blind in Bombay. Ved Mehta is a writer of a number books and is an editor as well.

Bit/Bits

When Ved Mehta was three and a half years, he lost his sight due to meningitis.

It was a shock for the whole family.

When relatives and neighbors came in with too much sympathy, his father got a transfer from Lahore to Karnal.

It took some long time for the family to feel familiar with the new surroundings and with his blindness.

In the new house, Ved’s mother called pandits (priests) to offer prayers.

She also went to hakims who were specialized in medicines.

She did it without her husband’s consent because he was a doctor.

One day, his father knew what his wife was doing. This made him very angry.

He contacted Dr. RM Halder, the Principal of Dadar School for the Blind in Bombay (Mumbai).

Dr. Halder showed deep interest in Ved’s case and welcomed him to his care.
