RAISED BY WILD ANIMALS

Dina Sanichar was discovered in a cave in the district of Bulandshahr and was brought to the local district magistrate and collector. He was subsequently sent to the Secundra orphanage at Agra.

At the orphanage he was given the name Sanichar (meaning Saturday) because he arrived on a Saturday. It was reported that he initially walked on all fours and ate raw meat. While he could not speak, he would make sounds similar to a wolf. He went on to live among other humans for over twenty years but never learned to speak, and remained seriously impaired his entire life.  Sanichar was a heavy smoker.
