Dr. Tatagiri Gurappa grew up in an extremely poor Hindu family from the untouchable caste in Southern India. When a nephew dies with no medical care, he hopes to become a doctor to the poor but has no means to do so. He attends a Christian school in his village, earns excellent marks and wins a scholarship to college. He comes to faith in Jesus Christ through a sister and brother-in-law and eventually becomes a doctor and serves the poorest of the poor.
