Book Summary
Drawing on solid ethnographic fieldwork as well as many hours of interviews,
Leprosy in South India: Journeys with a Tamil Brahmin tells the life story of
Das, a Tamil Brahmin born in the newly post-colonial India of the early 1950s.
After being diagnosed with leprosy, Das spent over a decade on the streets of
Bombay and Madras, learning to survive as an unofficial station porter, hotel
bellhop, and sometimes tourist guide. He won and lost fortunes on horses, he
gambled, and he learned firsthand of the pleasures to be had in Bombay's red
light district. But for all the joy that comes through so vividly
