Indian man's life in chains

 Article: BBC South Asia, 16 Nov 2006, 'Mad' Indian Man's Life In Chains
"A 56-year-old man in the eastern Indian state of Orissa has spent 26 years in chains because his family and doctors say he is mad and a danger to others."
The article highlights a man in India who is chained because of psychiatric conditions.  The family has sold all of their family land and property to pay for treatment.  Yet the condition worsens and the family is without hope for him to improve.
"When the money ran out, treatment was abandoned and he remained in chains to protect others, they say."
Oh that the Man of Peace would walk through the alleys of that village and bring healing and wholeness to this man and his family.
