Jaipur: Two-month-old Damini weighs just two kilos now, not ideal for a baby her height. But she is far healthier now than when she grabbed India's heart, slung to her father's chest as he ferried people in his cycle-rickshaw in Bharatpur in Rajasthan.
She was then severely malnourished. Stories on NDTV and ndtv.com provoked a deluge of offers for help. The government of Rajasthan offered to move Damini to a private hospital in Jaipur where she would be treated free of cost.
Damini's mother died in childbirth. Her father, Babloo, has no close relatives who he can leave her with when he's at work. And worried about her health, he is unwilling to entrust her to one of the many NGOs that have offered daycare for her in his home town.
