Suhaib Nazir

Grit and determination in face of adversity -- that's what helped 16-year-old Suhaib Nazir score 72 per cent marks in his school board exams six months after he sustained pellet injuries in his left eye. He is among the 1,000-odd people, most of them teenagers, who were hit in the eye by pellets fired by security forces during the five-month unrest...

The pellets have almost blinded him in the right eye, but that has not deterred 16-year-old Suhaib Nazir from appearing for his Class 10 board exams. He has, in fact, requested doctors to postpone his second surgery till the end of his exams.
