Birju story- wildfilmsindia got him an artificial leg and a new life
  • 6 years ago
We at wildfilmsindia observe the world around us with a different lens, in more ways than one. In one such instance, we found a way to better an individual’s life. We would like to share this satisfying tale with you...

Here, we met Birju. He sat perched uneasily on a khatia or village charpoy by the road-side, selling his wares. Over time, we noticed that he never moved from his perch as he had lost a leg and most of one arm as well. He got up just once to help one of our crew members as she was drafted by his family to bathe the children of all the adjacent hutments!

Birju is a 26 year old man who lost his leg at the age of 7 due to an electric shock. He and his family live and work by this Delhi road, and everyone rallied around Birju as he has limited mobility, despite an active mind and a full workday.

Birju is still a young man but he suffered an early misfortune in life that would forever label him an invalid.
