An Indian teenager is worshipped as a god because he has a 7ins ‘tail’.
Arshid Ali Khan, 13, has become a divine symbol in the state of Punjab. Locals have hailed him a reincarnation of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman – and refer to him as Balaji.
However, Arshid has to use a wheelchair and he is considering having the ‘tail’ removed. He said: ‘This tail has been given to me by God. I am worshipped because I pray to god and the wishes of people come true.
‘I feel neither good nor bad about having a tail.’
(...)
Arshid’s home has been converted into a temple where his devotees come to visit him to receive his blessings and touch his ‘tail’.
‘A lot of people’s wishes have come true after they have visited,’ claimed Mr Qureshi. ‘Sometimes there are childless couples who come to Balaji for help.
He blesses them, and often they are then able to conceive.’ Full story...
