12-yr-old Boy With
Growth Tail Hailed As god In India (SEE PHOTOS)
THIS
boy of 12 with a “tail” growing from his back has been hailed as a god in
India.
Followers
flock to Arshid Ali Khan’s temple — often leaving cash or gifts in return for a
blessing.
They
believe the youngster — Balaji to his devotees — is the reincarnation of Hindu
monkey god Hanuman. But doctors say he has meningocele, a form of spina bifida
where the spinal cord develops abnormally.
Balaji,
who lives with his grandparents near Chandigarh, said: “I love my tail. It’s a
gift from God. It’s unusual but people respect me and bow before me because of
it. I feel special.”....See pics after the cut:

Doctors
say if the growth is not removed, Balaji’s twisted limbs could become worse.
