Script by Wyn Knowles from the book by Ved Mehta
There are few schools for the blind in India, and most blind men are beggars or sweet sellers. This is the story of a blind Indian boy whose passion for education overcame all obstacles and brought him to America. There, he became adjusted to his blindness but faced what seemed to him the greater problem of growing into a complete human being
