12-yr-old Boy With Growth Tail Hailed As god In India

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.
