Contents includes: His name is Sadagopan, sometimes shortened by his friends, to “Sadan”. He was born in South India’s holy temple city of Kancheepuram, of which it has been said from ancient times, “blessed are you, even if you happen to be a donkey, to be born in “Kancheeppuram.” But it was not so with Sadan, for it was here that for six long years he lived as an outcast, shunned by society, by friends, even by his own relatives. He came of a respectable, educated, and artistic family. His father was subeditor on one of the leading Tamil newspapers. His mother, aunts, and two older sisters were musicians. When his father went to work in North India, Sadan went live with his grandmother. At an earlier age he had also lived for a time in the home of his uncle, from who he evidently contracted leprosy. He was eight when the patch on his back was first noticed, too young and happy to realize its significance. Though he went for treatments to the government hospital, he continued at school and enjoyed a normal and happy childhood. The disease gave him little trouble until about his fourteen year, when his hand began to “claw”; that is certain muscles showed increasing paralysis, so that the finger would not bend and straighten normally, and he found it more and more difficult to hold objects. He was puzzled, too, to find that he could not feel thing when he touched them, and much, much more.This book does not have illustrations. Thanks for Looking.
