Aiku & Akbar: Two religions, one family, and a court approval
The story is about Aiku Lal Sandil (Ekulaal), a tea seller from Baradari in Lucknow. Aiku Lal found Akbar, who was around six years old, near his shop in a sad condition and crying. After a doctor's examination, it was determined that Akbar had weak liver, lung infections, and foot infections that prevented him from walking. Aikulal's neighbor Kusumavati also played a significant role in Akbar's upbringing.
Aikulal says, "Akbar cried as soon as he was brought to our home and told us that his name is Akbar and that he lived in Paan Dariba."
Kusumavati, who had five children of her own, took care of Akbar like a foster mother.
"I took him to the doctor and massaged him. His arm seems broken so I bought him to Itaunja." Itaunja is a town of Lucknow district.
Aikulal's own background is similar to Akbar's. He was raised by a Muslim.
