How a stolen bag changed this speech & hearing-impaired family's life | Onmanorama Specials

A bag stolen at a railway station may have seemed like an ordinary theft. But for one family, it stole far more than their belongings; it took away the documents that proved their identity, leaving four children unable to secure formal admission to school.

This is the story of Haja Moyideen, his wife Sharada and their four children—a family where all members are speech and hearing impaired. They came to Kerala hoping to educate their children, build a modest home, and create a better future. Instead, they found themselves fighting to restore the very identity their children needed to access education.
