This woman has lost her eyesight in the left eye due to leprosy.

Leprosy. Down through the ages, the most dreaded and feared disease of mankind. The sad fact is that leprosy is still thriving in the nation of India, and it has victimized hundreds of thousands of people.

India is predominately Hindu, and many believe in reincarnation which is the belief that when someone or something dies that soul comes back in another body or form. In the law of Karma, good is rewarded in the life to come, and evil is punished.

Many believe that everyone gets what he or she deserves in life, so there is no mercy towards the less fortunate. Society generally believes that a leper has been cursed by the Hindu gods because they have done something unspeakable in a past life. These unfortunate people are ostracized by their society, and are the poorest of the poor and are considered the most untouchable of the untouchables.

Misery and desperation
is the life of a leprosy victim...

Many lepers are made homeless by their own families, cruelly abandoned and cast out into the streets because of their horrifying disease, left alone to suffer and die in their terrible state, heartbroken and emotionally shattered, no one to love or care for them.
Infected hand of a leprosy victim.

Watch rare shocking footage on those stricken with the dreaded disease of leprosy, and how the Lord is bringing revival and new life and hope to those lepers who are known as outcasts or untouchables by society.
