“My life could have been so different and maybe a lot shorter” said Hari, a young man from a rural village in India. He was found to have contracted kushtha when he was only nine years old. As was often the case with this disease, he was about to be abandoned by his family, until a very open-minded doctor found out about him. Luckily, the boy did not have a severely infective form of the disease and his family was not at risk. Still, everyone in his village was too frightened to touch him. They called him cursed and wanted nothing to do with him. They only knew that something terrible was making people in their village very ill. Fortunately, the doctor succeeded in allaying the villagers’ fears, and, after many sessions and conversations with almost half of the villagers, the boy was able to remain with his family. He was properly treated, and soon, the only reminder of the disease we know as leprosy was a tiny scar on his back. Listening to this young man of 20, today, it is obvious that, in addition to its physical symptoms, the disease also brought the devastating pain of social stigma. The fear of being left alone also had a positive effect, however. It helped him to become a social worker, which is a matter of pride for him today. He has been teaching biology in a school for several years, and his own life experience has certainly helped him reach out to his students.
