A boy with a seven-inch ‘tail’ is considering having it removed – despite being worshipped as a God. Arshid Ali Khan, 13, may lose the growth even though it made him a divine symbol in the state of Punjab, India. The teen, who is bound to a wheelchair, has been hailed by locals as an incarnation of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman – and refer to him as Balaji.
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 or bad about having a tail.” Arshid now lives with his grandfather, Iqbal Qureshi, and two uncles, after his father died when he was four and his mother remarried. Iqbal, a music instructor, said: “When he spoke for the first time at the age of one all he spoke was the names of Gods from different religions. “It was that day I realised that he had something divine and godly about him.”
