Ved Mehta

Ved Parkash Mehta (born 21 March 1934) is an India-Born writer who was born in Lahore, British India (now a Pakistani city) to a Punjabi Hindu family. He lost his sight at the age of three to cerebrospinal meningitis. Because of the limited prospects for blind people in general, his mother, Shanti Mehta, and father, Amolak Ram Mehta, a doctor, sent him over 1,300 miles away[2] to the Dadar School for the Blind in Bombay.
